New Hotness

I've been lusting after a frame bag for some time now.  I tend to carry more stuff than I really need on bike rides, just to be prepared ya know.  And I get tired of always having to wear my camelbak with all that stuff in it.  One day while perusing different biking websites I stumbled up a nice looking frame bag.  It thought that would be quite handy.  I got to thinking about it and decided that it would be even sweeter if it was leather.  So I set out to make my own.  I went to the leather store and picked up a nice big piece of green suede.  I made a mock up of the bag in paper then cut the leather into the correct shapes.  My wonderful wife did all of the sewing work.  Admittedly the hardest and longest (and most frustrating) part of this was the sewing.  She did a great job and the bag looks great!  I'll be putting it through it's paces soon.
