I understand. I thought about making a handlebar bag about a decade and a half ago, eventually decided it would be too many hours and likely too many prototypes that I learned from.
Half a century ago when camping gear was really expensive, I made a tent fly and a number of less complicated items. That was in the era of Frostline or Holubar kits, I made a Frostline down vest. But sewing a three dimensional object can be really complicated if you need to add stiffeners, etc.
