Then you have the outer and inner layers that you now need to put together. Leave one seam open so that you can turn the two pieces right side out after sewing them together.

- Use simple Velcro straps as pocket closures. As a fastening strap on the handlebar, cut two textile belts to the desired length and sew them to the back of your handlebar bag. So you can easily attach them to your bike handlebars.
- Use a waterproof fabric, e.g. B. Tent fabric and a washable material for the lining of the bag. You can easily wash this bag in the washing machine at 30 ° C and it is pure again.
