MonicaJacobson Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Hi all, I just finished using the rest of the Austin leather I had. I had just enough to make this decent sized purse, or whatever you want to call it. It's 9 oz. Austin leather, and I hand stitched all of the details. Thanks for looking!

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks, everyone! I can't take credit for the idea; I saw a beautiful journal someone had made in this style, but I couldn't find out who had made it or if it was for sale anywhere. Maybe it was someone on this forum!

Razmot Report post Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Well applying it to a purse was original! An they do say "Imitation is the highest form of flattery" anyways great looking bag..... By the way, the stitching is also impressive. Edited March 18, 2014 by Razmot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! It only lasted two hours in my etsy shop, so I guess I should make another one. And maybe a mandolin one, as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
