Nice looling pannier. It kind of reminds me of TB Designs'. His plans also uses a bag inside of a "carrier". But his carrier is cloth, not a trash bin.

We rock C&V sewing machines here too :D

Early 50's Singer Slant needle 404 and a Singer 503 Rocketeer from around 1961. Some of the best machines ever built! There is one more modern Husquavarna and I believe their may be a modern Viking too, but the Singers are the ones that get used the most.

My wife has a 1961-62 503 Rocketeer... I bought my 403 (same internals as the 503) because I wanted a machine that could do heavier work and although they were not sold as industrial machines, my Singer guy says these are better than most modern industrial machines due to the high quality of parts and because they are gear driven.

This applies to cycling in that I got a sewing machine so I could make and mend cycling gear and bags and the vintage Singers tend to be better than anything you can buy now unless you are willing to pay 1000's of dollars.

This looks like a good solution and was wondering combining this idea with the kitty litter bucket idea would not be a good idea. Light weight flexible packing with solid mounting.

Singer Model 15 Treadle, have both treadle and portable cases and a hand crank for use in the portable case. Special ordered from Singer in 19 and 83 (they still make treadle machines for the areas of the world without electricity.)

Great job on the pannier, I think I'll try my hand at making a pair
