Burda Style For people who sew

This is the first time I have written one of these so I hope it is ok…

First I measured my bike there are 3 key measurements:

1. Top of the bike rack left to right (10cm)
2. Top of the bike rack top to bottom (30cm)
3. Length from the top of the bike rack to the bit where it fastens on to the wheel (35cm)

Once you have these measurements there are 9 pieces to apply them too,

The first two are the front panels of the paniers. 35 × 30
The second 4 are the side panels: 10 × 35
Then 2 bottom panels: 10 × 30
The final piece is the piece at the back which goes from the bottom of one panier over the rack to the bottom of the second panier: 35+10+35 by 30

(I was always taught to add 1-2cm on each side for seams)

I lined my paniers too so I doubled up on each piece with some tough white cotton.
