I mentioned the gig bag in my post about a crocheted shawl. I bought an acoustic bass and decided that the best solution for transporting it would be to create a custom gig bag, using recycled materials. So, I sourced an old (and large) canvas tent, borrowed a duvet, and an old duvet cover.
I began by making a miniature version to test my method and see where there might be problems. Turned out there were difficulties. The main one being how to sew the zip in so that it fitted properly. Another, which I only planned to explore on the full size example was what to use for a carry handle and how to attach it.
Let’s get some photographs…
