    Just finished this handbag, yesterday. (8 1/2" w x 9" w x 1 1/2" D) The pattern is from The Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michaels. I changed it up a bit and lined the inside flap and back with deer skin, which added more complexity to the construction than I thought it would. Never again. For example, when I dyed the edge of the flap, The deer skin sopped up the dye like a sponge - Yuk - made a big mess. I managed to get around this by gluing another layer of deer over top of the piece that was ruined. Also, it is extremely difficult to skive, so it added thickness to the bag that I really did not want and it does not burnish like veg cow. The molded front is made up with two molded pieces, glued together, flesh to flesh so that the inside of the pocket shows the grain side, (looks and feels great. I skived down a circular button and then glued and stitched it over the back of the Sam Browne stud. This was a great learning project, for sure, and I plan on doing more of them in the future. Thanks for looking!

    LOL - going to make a smaller one, too, following the theme of "discreet, concealed carry". ... Ahhh, the 70's ... Great years!

    Thanks, Mattsbagger Trying to come up with some simple items. Thinking I will crease the edge to make it look at little more finished.

    A quick & easy pocket case that will hold four smokes. It's hardly noticeable in a shirt or front pant pocket. Like a mini cigar case.

    I put this together really quick to illustrate my suggestion. IMHO you should be closing up the top of the gussets and nailing down the top of the pocket patches. The top stitch line shows how the gussets could be closed up. The bottom stich line shows how you would accomplish the same thing with a pocket or patch.

    Lookin' good. I especially like you paid attention to the details ... Like covering the hardware on the inside with leather. Thanks for sharing!

    It looks great, Mike. The braiding is excellent and I especially like the colouring and stamping. Really cool how the texturing fades out randomly. thanks for sharing!
  23. Basically Bob
    Good stuff!

    The Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michaels is excellent. Al Stohlman's Art of Making Cases, Start with volume 1 and progress to volume 3
