This was my first sewing machine project ever!  The stitching is a bit on the ugly side, but glad I tried it. I followed some the awesome advice of several people's post online. Thanks to all who shared their info. The bag fits fairly well. Can't wait to break it in, but we just got 30 inches of snow.

Looks good! What kind of material did you use? And are those vertical dividers I see sewn in?

Not sure the exact name of the fabric, but is the PVC coated nylon, similar weight to Cordura.  It is a little heavy but it is strong and costs less.  This was a first try so I didn't want to use expensive material yet.  The divider is actually a mesh side pocket that is divided vertically so I have a small pocket for little things near the head tube and a large mesh side pocket towards the back.
