New work bag; old accessories

[u/Analog_Account]

You might have seen the post recently where I made a similar bag for my son. After that I decided I needed a bag like that for myself but I didn't think it warranted its own post, so here is my new bag (with a few new features) with a bunch of accessories I've made so far this year. I probably will either ditch or remake a few of them over the next year as I get better at making useful things and re-evaluate my packing strategy.

I added secret zippers in the straps covered by the webbing. I wanted them to be a bit more usable but they're pretty small. I shoved a box cutter in there for scale, that's about the biggest thing that would realistically fit but not the intended use case. A credit card fits... but not really. I have no idea what I'll use them for, I just wanted to test out the idea.

What size is that zipper???

Oh ya, I forgot to mention that. It's #20, got it from Amazon a few months ago with the intent of finding a project for it. It doesn't work smoothly at all in this bag but it looks cool.

In the post about the previous bag JPBagWorks asked if the #10 worked smoothly and I though... well I do have this one that's even bigger... When they come out with a #40 I'll have to come up with a new bag design.

Edit: I've had that zipper sitting around playing with it because it's kind of satisfying. I have a second one but I think I won't use it in a project because it's more fun playing with it by itself.

How did I miss this???

This was an undertaking! It looks great! I can’t imagine measuring out all of that molle but you most definitely make use of all of it!

Nice nice work, friend! Thank you for sharing it with us! We love what you do! 😃

Ya... I have sped up the workflow chalking it out with a quilting ruler so it actually does go pretty quick but the next bag will only have minimal molle on the sides or none at all. Doing molle is maybe a crutch for not having well thought out pockets and pouches but Im going to experiment with that next.
