i might just have to try that.  I would have to sew by hand though so I gues smine would be an advanced $1 tank bag  :lol:  :lol:   Good tutorial though

I sew mine by hand (what a pain), and yes... you might want to consider a better quality bag ( i will make another one with a better bag) if you want the bag to last years and years.  :thumb:

I kinda like the getto riffic dollar store bag myself, it has character  :lol:  .  Plus I am in the extremely broke situation and I have always been looking for something to do with all the extra HDs that I have lying around (10).
