My son asked for bags to fit in his panniers when he holidays on his motorbike He was fed up with walking into hotels with carriers bags!! This is what I came up with, the design is from his measurements and the motorbike is from Designs by Sick. I'm really pleased with it, only one more to make.

No my son said it didn't matter as the panniers they will go in are. They could always be sprayed with a waterproof spray.

Looks great! I love the handles. They match the design perfectly! I am sure he'll be thrilled to get this to fit his panniers perfectly.

Canvas on the outside and calico for the lining. Jo

These are remarkable! I thought how do you keep dry when I first saw but after reading you place them within the panniers I thought well these will be very nice for the carry in and traveling.

wow you have done a terrific job here & you should be quite proud of this. He no longer will be embarrassed by taking carrier bags. My son-in-law complains of the same problem? How did you create the pattern? the width of the side or the room @ the back of his back? The rest of the seat? where are these going to sit on the bike? Is this a canvas material?

They will go into the panniers that hang on each side of the bike at the back. The measurements are the interior of the pannier. 16"x12"x9" I decided to put 2 zips on the top to make access easier. An elasticated pocket on the side and a flat pocket on the front. The material is canvas and the bag is lined with calico. Jo
