Making a little bag for the front of my wife's bike. #sewing
A bag halfway through being sewn. About to sew the pocket to the main body of the bag.

Hole for the front pocket's zipper. I always need to look at a video of how to do this. #sewing
A rectangular hole for a zipper in the denim front face of the bag. The canvas lining shows through.
Back of the pocket's body. This will need ironing along the hole.

Bag is done! Tomorrow, I'll make the little belts to fasten it to the bike. #sewing
Finished bag resting against a 1990s Singer sewing machine. The bag itself is open, and the pocket too. You can see the pink interior and the beige pocket.

@kikir two straps with velcro at the top, and a shoelace at the bottom.

Ignore the metal loops; they go on the side of the bag to attach a shoulder strap, but I secured them with the velcro to keep them from jingling around.

Two velcro straps fastening the bag to the handlebars.
A shoelace to fasten the bottom of the bag to the bike's frame.

thank you! what a fine construction (and cool bag). I often have difficulties figuring out how to attach stuff to sth or how to fixate things and have never worked with velcro in my sewing, so that's a great idea

@kikir I used velcro on this one because it is a very small bag. For heavier cargo I make little belts with actual buckles.
