Without further delay, my latest DIY bag and my first handlebar bag.

On this one I used the internal plastic frame of a Cannondale bag which utilizes a QR mount. I then re-purposed a retired leather Coach brand purse Mrs. PB let me have in order to "fashion" a new exterior. I aadded thin aluminum strips between the lid and the liner in order to keep it stiff and from sagging into the interior. She was quite pleased with the end result. Maybe it needs to ride on her bike? For now it is modeled by my '88 ST400 Cannondale.
