No I have not.
This might help you, but you may notice that the forum only gets rare posters.

I made my own frame bag. I repurposed some Cordura from an old stuff sack. I made mine a roll top which was way easier than trying to add a zipper.
I started by making a template out of cardboard.
If you're going to make a roll top, be sure and make the top extra long. I barely made my top long enough to roll over. A little too long might've been better.
Another thing to consider. I used velcro loops to attach it to the frame. If I could do it again, I might've also added some inserts and used the water bottle bracket bolts to cinch it to the frame.
Btw: The drybags on the forks are also attached via a DIY system as is the roll top bag under the downtube which holds a 1 liter water bottle.

Repurposing is probably a good idea. One problem is sourcing all the specialized notions, buckles, zippers. snaps, etc. for gear.

good day dear Pratt
many thanks for the reply - and for sharing your thougths.
Yes repurposing - this is a absolutly great idea. I love it. And i think that mtnbud made a great job.
Well - i think if we create a Roll-Top Frame-Bag then we can do this zipperless. cf the examples:
