HARD DRIVE BIBLE
I like many others use a Mac and run a couple of external hard drives. I have been using two separate HD cases, and hate the long setup time when commuting back and forth between offices. So I decided to create my very own one-off hard drive case. As I’m sure you are aware with a Mac you have to use a dongle to plug in your hard drives now which adds to the process. I had the idea of a pouch that will hold both hard drives, run the USB cables out the side and hold the dongle on the outside for easy access. I also decided to use my scraps for this project as well, one to use them up and two to add to the challenge. This project is also a learning process for me, designing and crafting a bag/pouch with more than one piece and using a front, back, and gusset.
