It is actually an egyptian symbol worn by the Goddess Hathor. I didn't come up with it. I was making the bag for my wife for practice and that is what she wanted.

The latest bag I have made.

Beautiful!

found this a long time ago. i use .8mm tiger thread with my 4mm stitching chisels and .6mm with my 3mm stitching chisels. This might also be helpful http://www.ianatkinson.net/leather/leatherguide.htm

here is the webbing and ribbon side by side.

I had this same question. I went to Jo-Ann's fabric and found polyester ribbon. Much thinner than webbing.

Hi guys. I seem to not have any issues with measuring the gussets. i do the math and measure with tailor's tape. My issue is attaching the gusset and adding the wholes. Tuga, could you be more detailed in how you pre punch the holes?

I have had nothing but great experiences with BuckleGuy. They are local to me. I wish there was just a way for me to go pick the stuff I order up though.

Here is the 2nd attempt at making a bag. I am a little embarrassed by how long it took.

I saw this on this board once I think.

I have been using Fiebing's leather colors. It seems to work great.

It was some stuff i got from tandy. I imagine that they will stretch over time but I also don't foresee my 4 year old carrying anything too heavy. the straps are also 4/5 oz yes. When I build my bag it will have thicker straps and have some webbing inside to prevent stretching.

I used some veg tan leather 4-5 oz. 2-3 for the front pocket. Not the highest quality stuff since it was my first bag and for a 4 year old.

Buckles, trigger snap hooks, O ring and D rings. Also a bunch of double cap rivets.
