Hi Anne. Here's a link for a DIY bag. I'm impressed with it and he and his girlfriend are using them on their So. Africa tour. http://www.pedalingnowhere.com/gear/diy-longflap-saddlebag-minimalist-bike-touring/#.UtR97xY45IA Besides Revelate, there's also Porcelin Rocket. He will custom sew. But he also has the saddle bags and handle bar bags. I've been using the handle bar setup for over a year, and my daughter just left with it on her tour down the CA coast.
