Assorted sewing projects

• I built a A briefcaselike shoulder-bag in the summer of 2005 as a less-bulky alternative to my backpack. This was my first experiment in making luggage.
• I'm currently working on a similar, larger bag with a zippered closure, a waistbelt, stronger shoulder-strap attachment points, and a better lid. I'm using better design and construction practices than I did on my first bag.
• For these experiments, I devised a system for attaching panels with slots for pencils, pouches for stuff, and other small modules that I might want to move between bags (to save time) or reconfigure (as an experiment).
