So I made myself a new briefcase. It is by far my biggest project so far and I learned a lot from it.

The main part is made of 3-3,5mm leather and the gusset is made from 1-1,2mm. The quality of the leather is not very good but here in denmark the selection of good leather is limited.

The thread is fil au chinois 432. The pricking iron used is the one from goods japan with 4 mm spacing

Hi

You did a great job here. Love this case.

Where in Denmark do you live? If you're in south Denmark, there is a tannery in northern Germany. you could visit them. They have great leather and fair prices. Kobel-leder.de

I live in copenhagen so that tannery is to far away to stop by. Do you know if you can order from them?

That's a good question. It is really hard to tell. As I made the pattern myself i spend a lot of time dimensioning the bag. Total time i think is about 100 hours. If i should make it again it would maybe take 40-60 hours but I really don't know.

Any chance you'd be willing to share the pattern, please?
