Would love to see more detail on the trunk bag, or what is itodelled after? Beautiful ride and the bags are amazeballs. How much gear or clothing do you regularly sew?

You can find it way down in my Instagram feed under ‘DirtDanceDesigns’, my hobby site. These are old bags. I apologize in advance for too many projects being documented.

I designed the front and rear bags like real wide, tall boots. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE width. They are roll downs, with the boot shaft being the part that rolls down. The goal was leaving more of the top open for strapping stuff, than if the entry shaft was centered. The roll ends up on one side. Looks more tidy too.

I don’t sew clothing. I can’t figure out their patterns. Due to shallow pockets in pants and shorts being useless(!) I’m tempted to learn though… They aren’t secure enough for riding a bike and keeping stuff in.
How come pants and shorts have such shallow pockets? Pet peeve of mine. It’s like making a city bike without rack mounts. Save a dime and make the product useless? WTH?

I own four bikes and have made bags for all of them. I can use any of them for bikepacking. (S-works Crux, Ibis HD Mojo, this bike and a Giant XTC).
