If you know of one --- I've been here a while now and have only be disappointed with the quality of the work including having a dress coat ruined.

Red Oxx customizes bags
Sewing RedOxx mods is not for the average home machine and newbie sewer. Their materials are very durable and will laugh at a lightweight $100 sewing machine without proper accessories. I'd suggest looking for a luggage repair shop which is usually attached to a cobbler (yes, sewing bags can require that heavy duty of a machine). There's also outdoor gear repair shops in case you have one nearby
https://gearpatrol.com/2019/04/05/be...-repair-shops/ Hand bag repair shops, also sometimes cobblers, can probably handle this sort of work. Tips if you still want to try it for yourself:
ThinkTank backpack conversion straps and probably practice on some thrifted bags first.
Thanks - I will look into this. And I do not have a sewing machine let alone a pro-type that would work with a Red Oxx bag
Cheers
