    Finished Tail Bag

    Hi there,

    Just thought I should post a bag a made for my tail today, as when trying to transport it, it's a bit more of a hassle and bulkier than a fabric one.

    It has reinforced seams on the shoulders and on the seams on the inside of the bag, with the same stuff you see on the shoulder straps (red strips). Triple stitched in all the key and main stress areas and well yea, not having to carry/transport it covered in a piece of fabric anymore!!!

    Whoa! You could absolutely make these to sell, I'm sure mers with big heavy tails would greatly appreciate having a bag to tote them in.

    Aww thank you mers ^_^, means a lot <3

    I was thinking about it, but I'd like someone with a full silicone tail to get one first (not at full price + shipping) to see how all the seams take the weight, pretty much like a durability test and how it feels. Since my tail is only 7kg, it is nowhere near a full silicone tail weight, obviously :P

    A note on this - it might be a good idea to make the fabric of the straps run all the way around the bag, like so:

    This'll make it a lot stronger and less likely to break along the bottom seam.

    Point noted thank you. Though I was going to do it but I ran out of red, didn't measure before buying, mistake on my behalf as I forgot I was putting it on the straps as well.

    Ilyena, I'd love to buy one from you as your first demo if you still need someone, I'm dying for a tail bag, and my merbellas is like 25 pounds wet and sometimes I have to walk it a ways

    Thank you Pearlie, I took note ^_^ The two bags I shall be working on once I get the measurements are slightly different to mine. I won't be doing it to mine as well it's not heavy enough to worry about plus it has the straps on the seams inside
