Ostrich/emu Vinyl Tote; Success After Your Help With Machine Tension Issues

[Leese]

All-

Good evening! After LW assistance with my tension issues, I finished my orange tote and then got a request to make it in black.

Both are constructed of a knit-backed vinyl shell" and a lighter flannel backed vinyl for the lining. To give the bag some shape, I used foam headliner from the local fabric shop. The orange bag has up-cycled suede for the outside pocket and bottom. The zipper tab ends were a little weak, but I think I figured a better way on the black bag. The straps are two layers of vinyl with a Texon "core", Tandy Leather brand edge paint (multiple thin layers sanded down to remove nubs) and topped with Fiebings Tan-Kote.

Once I photograph my latest prototype of a cross body bag, I will post the photos.

Your thoughts, comments, etc. are welcome.

Thank you for looking!
