Description
I have a friend who is a real-life, professional ghost hunter. She hated the big clunky toolbox to hold all her electronic equipment so asked me to make a bag to safely hold/protect it all, plus be fashionable and easy to carry.
I based the design on a standard messenger bag, but inside created pocket-world in various shapes and sizes for her specialized needs!
Material Notes
Corduroy exterior, fabric interior. I interfaced the heck out of everything and double stitched/top-stitched where I could for additional strength. Everything is fully lined and all seams are hidden.

It is actually in several parts: there is a small piece of fabric folded in half over a d-ring and sewed into the bag itself.
I then made a long fabric snake, and then stuffed the heck out of it and topstitched in even lines- in essence quilting it. The end pieces are un-stuffed so they can slide easily through the slide adjusters, catching the D-ring in the process.
The slide adjusters were store bought. Boy I really hope that made sense.
