I had to quit wearing my favorite bag because of a broken scapula ( lower shoulder blade, it is a rare break).
I then made a bag for the other shoulder. I still cant always wear my favorite bags because of shoulder issues.

you can make simple bags with simple fabrics with a normal machine, when you want awesome pockets and such, then you need an
awesome machine. I used a heavy duty and nice needles I got from a fabric store for around $150.


I started wearing a normal two strap computer bag for work, (computers and cameras are heavy, but I am going back to a messenger bag tomorrow) and my zipper broke. why I prefer velcro and plastic buckles
