Nope... very helpful indeed. My main thing is to get some more experience and hence the funny Qs. Used to be good at art at school (well, very good if I might say so myself) so hopefully with a little patience i might be able to get something looking like the first bag in this thread myself...
Average full frame bag will use ±0.25m² of fabric. So excluding zippers, buckles, etc. a bag will weigh ±50g in VX21 and ±70g in Cordura 500. Only 20g difference!!
Cordura is readily available for £4.50/m², VX21 is three times that price. Cordura is slightly easier to shape for sewing.
If this is your first bag, my advice would be to make a mock up in cheap material (old bedsheet perhaps). It won't look great but will teach you a lot about procedure.
