  Wow. That is so awesome and one of the best Medkits I’ve seen by far! Would you ever make them and sell them? Just curious. :)

  Is there a pattern for this, because my sister and I really want to make one and this looks really nice.

    Unfortunately not, I just kinda made this one by trial and error. Thanks for the compliment, though!

    I do make plushies, but it really depends on what you want, and the only example I really have up is my Mr. Saturn plush in my gallery.

  I really like this. I plan on making myself a bag without a pattern, but I don’t see your straps. What’s up with that?

  Let me know plz.

    Well, I didn’t have any straps because I wanted to be true to the game, where the sort of mysteriously just stick to the back, so for the event, I basted some velcro onto the back of the bag, and my jacket.

    That’s how it’s attached in the photo, but I really wouldn’t recommend it, because even though I only had it stuffed with fiberfill, it was so heavy, it wound up pulling at the back collar, so the jacket sat funny all night.

  I really like this! I am planning on making one of these for my friend for Christmas. Do you have any advise?

    It depends on whether s/he’ll be using it as a collectible/prop, or if s/he will want it true to the game. Mine wound up a little larger than it should be, because I eyeballed everything around the two 7" zippers I bought for the front. So if you’re wanting it truer to the game, go smaller than 7" but larger than 5". For actually installing the zippers in a lined bag, this blog post (http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2007/02/zippered_inner_.html) was invaluable.

    Can’t offer much insight beyond that, as it was a hazy couple of nights, and when it came time to turn the thing, I was so confused, I literally sat and stared at it for half an hour before I had even the vaguest concept of how to finish it.

  Wow! I could never make anything like that in just two nights! Nice work. :]
