Any metallic gel pen from staples, michaels, etc I am using silver or gold.

I trim back side all together to the same length , piping and both sides of the bag pieces.

Exactly! But I took half of the machine apart and know how this mechanism looks inside out. Cleaned and old machine same time. This is the help , that I found online, with the pictures and steps described Re-engage the Safety Clutch on Walking Foot Sewing Machine by KaceyK My machine is Juki Ls-341 Cylinder Bed, but it worked for me too.

I had this problem too. Tried to call a sewing machine specialist, he wanted $150 just to look at the machine. I thought to look for an answer online, as I have already opened everything inside of the machine, that I could Finally I found a tutorial on Google and downloaded two manuals for my machine, one was for a service parts. Re-engaged safety mechanism - it was easy. After all of that I found that all of this information inside of the sewing machine manual, which I have never read in a beginning ))

Thank you for a comment about D-rings. Very logical!

Pliers manufacturers web-site or Pliers in US shop fileteuse and attachments or you have to find a thread here about french retailers. Don't think so.

A lot of different opinions. So what can you say about this example? From recent Peter Nitz Facebook post.

Yup, tha's the rumor. How is it you read the chronicle? What's yore alias? Thanks for the compliment Hi, could you please add the link to this article or post it on this forum. I am very interested in one of the best tutorials Thank you.

Yes, comments are on the right for every picture. Very useful.

You can have a look at the Newey duffle in matte grey alligator link from Peter Nitz Facebook page.

Thank you, Monica.

Handle can be long - on the shoulder, shorter if bag used as a cross body or really short if you wrap it ones around a flap.

I continue to learn and practice. If someone can direct me to some tutorials about clutches, patterns, I will be very much appreciated. This time I decided to make my first clutch bag. I had a cheap, soft piece of brown goat leather, good enough to use for it. During process made a few mistakes, now just have to adjust a pattern, plus I think that I need a better stabilizer around edges. This type of leather was way to soft and stretchy. Bag color is brown, although it looks like black. Dark red cow lining, gunmetal hardware. Size: 6" x 9" x 2". Handle is 24" drop, removable. My old vintage handbag by MURRAY KRUGER was a huge help, I wasn't really sure how to attach a bottom and sides or if I made a correct pattern. As a result , I had to cut a new sides and bottom pieces. Old ones were used for a new phone case, that why it slightly short, but I need something to practice my hand saddle stitches. This is my vintage helper on the left with the picture of the inside of it. With the phone case

I think so. Really like it too. My criticism - it's a magnet in a wrong place. I didn't think it will be visible though the layers of leather, but I can see it in the front. Flower should be slightly lower and the magnet covered with the bottom petals. Now I know for the next time. Straps are fine , you can turn whole handle inside out couple of times and it will be like a thick rope. No problem at all. As I said before, Chanel is a main source of inspiration, so I am taking from this brand interesting ideas. This is the original bag (lots of good pictures and size measurements you can find on Ebay) :

Thank you very much for all of your comments. I am practicing, but its very difficult without a proper guidance. About last picture. This is a front pocket flap. Top part (with the flower) glued to a thicker piece of leather (yellow color - and it acts as a stiffener). White material - just a piece of paper, everyday printer paper. I saw this trick online. You cut a piece of paper for the corner or for the rounded edges of the bag and glue it to the edge. It doesn't add a thickness or any hardness, but it works as a guide for a folding line. Then you can fold all of the edges easy and straight. Then I made 2 stitches on top , turned this piece inside out and glued together. I used a sewing ironing pad to keep slightly curved shape of the flap while glue was drying. Left it to dry like this overnight.

Yes, I bought a second hand cylinder base Juki.

I am using 4/32" Poly foam Welt Cord and 5/32" welting foot for a sewing machine when stitching. Working very well together, but my leather is very thin. Strips of leather for piping about 1" wide. Finished piping (welt cord is already pre-glued inside ) glued to a side of the bag. Piping leather connection seam is in the middle, but welt cord inside of the piping I am connecting about 1" away from that seam. Ends of the weld cord trimmed to an angle and glued together. So I glue the welt cord inside of the leather strip, leaving two ends unfinished, then after positioning piping on the details of the bag, I am connecting a welt cord first, then finishing a leather wrapping on the piping.

This is my beginners handbags. Project No3 and No2 Two previous ones weren't as good. Size 8" x 6" x 2.5" Goat skin leather. Lining is goat or cow. I made some mistakes, but trying to improve in order avoid them in a future. Also I don't have anyone knowledgable around to help me with choice of materials for a specific parts, so I am just trying and guessing. These are the pictures of my bags:

Hi to everyone My name is Olena, I am from NY, not far from the New York City. I am interested in sewing and photography. At the moment I am trying to learn about leatherworking, so any advice would be appreciated. I have some books, most of them in PDF format, photos and links from your website are very helpful too. I tried to make a couple of small lady's handbags Chanel style for myself, going to post them in a separate post. Comments, friends , advice are more than welcome. Olena.
