Thank you everyone. To answer some questions: 1. For the coloring of the bag, I used Fiebings dye applied with an airbrush, SaddleLac as a resist to maintain the blue and green on the logo, dark brown gel antique stain, and then white acrylic paint for the lettering. 2. The stitching is all done by hand. I don't use a machine for any of my work. 3. I did make my own pattern, using other bicycle bags of similar style as a reference and following the wisdom in the Making Cases books as a guide.

My First Book Binding Experiment
Solofalcon replied to Solofalcon's topic in Books, Journals and Photo Albums
Moe, That is exactly how I feel. The ideas just start to flow. We will see if it sells on Etsy. Thanks. All4Christ, I used pig skin lining leather but with the suede side up, and I used PVA glue as the videos recommend. It works well. Thank you, Kevin -
My First Book Binding Experiment
Solofalcon replied to Solofalcon's topic in Books, Journals and Photo Albums
Thank you. I found some great youtube videos. Basically I followed the 'Textblock' and 'Moleskine' tutorial videos that Sealemon put out. Just type in Sealemon in the search and a bunch of well made tutorials come up. -

I had similar problems when I started lacing. The best thing I can tell you is to loosely lace the beginning three holes to give you slack to finish the job. The lacing directions in the Leatherwork Manual by Al Stohlman are a great reference for lacing. Just keep working with it and it will start looking how you want it. Nice work.
