Stuff Sack Grab Bag
Boy Scout manuals of the Early 20th Century called a pack a "bag full of bags". We know them today as "stuff sacks". Back then they were called "ditty bags" and earlier still "possibles bags". Whatever the name, they are probably the most essential piece of gear you can have in your kit.
These are made from what I call "usable scrap" left over from custom projects and prototypes---material that's too big to throw away, too small for anything other than a bag. So, unlike our other sacks that are made from a uniform pattern and specific fabric, or our balloon silk bags made for the weight savings and specific purposes such as food bags, these bags are made to no pattern or size---its just the biggest bags I could make out of a piece of scrap.
No two bags are exactly the same size, the biggest is 11 x 9", the smallest is 7" x 7". There are two types of linen here, bed ticking, canvas, and twill. The ticking bags are either vertical stripe or horizontal stripe---whichever worked to make the biggest bag I could.
Here's how it will work. I put all 15 of these bags inside the haversack in the second pic. I'll add bags to it as I make more bags out of project scraps. You pay me $7.50 and I close my eyes, reach into that haversack, pull out 5 random bags, and arrange for a uniformed representative of the US Government to bring them to your mailbox.
As always, the system (which I haven't figured out yet) will charge you a shipping cost, and I will refund you any excess shipping charges once the Post Office tells me how much the cost is.
The system will charge you an initial shipping cost and I will refund any amount over actual shipping cost.
