These look appealing to me. Sometimes shears/scissors seem the right tool.

I edited my post to comply, apologies.

Prototyping out a weekender style bag from wool and leather. I've always loved these natural materials. Wool and leather. They seem to fit together, natural products for the natural world and so when I came across some affordable Greek surplus wool blankets I knew I'd have to experiment with making a bag out of them. This was all hand stitched and has a canvas liner to the wool, something I might not repeat in future as it made elements of hand stitching more difficult. I'd also use a chunkier zipper. The zipper pull is Ostrich leather for some added flair.

Hello, I'm a hobbyist who's sold some things on the side so far. I've gotten so much out of this forum thought I should make an account as well. Been trying to make a variety of things, quite enjoying small bags currently. Still all hand cut, punch and stitched at this stage. Here's the latest, a bag I made for my mom. Exterior is using Salmon leather and is lined with Kangaroo leather. The back piece was a dark blue bridle. Thanks for having me!
