Andies Clone Bags - One twin asked for a pair of clone bags for her and her sister as a birthday surprise. I also incorporated a logo they use into the billet strap to really emphasize that these are unique satchels. The smaller front pocket and two side pockets use Sam Browne Studs for fastening. Completely handstitched throughout, the brief was that they needed to be able to comfortably hold an A4 writing pad and iPad. As only my second time making bags, i'm really pleased with the finished product....and more to the point, Andie is delighted with them!© ©2013 BarkingRooster.co.uk (Adam Taylor)

I need to make this bag out of tooling leather: https://www.etsy.com/listing/124414532/oil-tanned-distressed-metallic-leather?ref=shop_home_feat I wasn't sure if I should buy a 2-3oz or 3-4 oz. Im using a sewing machine not sewing by hand. Also can I moisten the leather a little to make it more pliable before I sew it? I haven't worked with tooling leather before. I would definitely appreciate all opinions! Thanks!!

first ever attempt at a bag. made from my own design and based around a traditional english satchel. The bag was adapted throughout the process as i was learning as i went along! Hand stitched throughout, and first time using chrome tanned leather. some dodgy stitching, but on the whole, i'm very pleased with the final bag. Next step is to learn how to edge finish chrome tanned leather.© © adam taylor Barking Rooster Leather 2013

First time i have tried making a bag...very happy with the result! some dodgy stitching, but its 100% handstitched, with no glue used. The design evolved as i went along, and because its my own design, i was learning all the time. Hence the odd strap holding the buckle. A solution to a problem i had not considered when starting out. On the whole, i am happy for a first attempt, obviously lots of places for improvement...and i need to figure out edge finishing on chrome tan, as i have never used this kind of leather before. Love to hear your comments adam

the strap is stitched to the brass fittings rather than being detachable, and it was cut to the correct length for my wife and she was not bothered about it being adjustable either.© © adam taylor Barking Rooster Leather 2013

I present here the two first prayer pipes (also called elbow pipes) I ever made, having carved the bowls in steatite (soap stone) - I never carved stone before that. The stems are made of various wood and materials, and those interested to know more about these pipes and how they are made can find a full description with more and better photos on my website. They are shown here with the pouches I made later on. These pouches are made of cow leather lined with a coated cloth and the decorations are of various stuff: hairy foal skin, dyed snake skin, chicken leg skin (I didn't even know it exists before I found some on an online shop!), glass beads (loom with heddle beading) and gemstone beads, feathers, hairpipes, fox fur, Corian... Fully hand sewn and own design with obviously and once more a strong Native Influence (many years ago a psychic,however right on so many things that could be verified, told me it was the very first time I was living as a white man! After all, perhaps that this influence comes from outside and inside...?) -
Oh my god shoot me now, I finally finished this Christmas present. It is far from perfect, but a good learning experience so next one can be better. My wife has a HUGE PC laptop that does not fit any store bought computer bag. So stupidly I decided to make one. In late November I purchased a gorgeous oil tanned red/burgundy colored leather from a small local supplier...they laid some out and let me fondle through some hides before purchasing. It is lovely soft stuff, but you cannot burnish the edges and every mark shows up. Still I love it. I made a paper pattern and sized things up. The internal guts are a layer of foam tightly wrapped with fabric and then covered with pigskin. This was done to hold the laptop in tightly and cushion it. When the computer dies I will take out the rivets and remove the lining so it can be used as a normal bag. Would like to hear what you think and what you see; I have some things I will do differently next time. The only machine I used was a hand press for some rivets.

We currently import our bags from china and are looking to move production to the US and want to find a leatherworker to help rework our prototypes to get them ready for production. We are planning on have 3-4 main styles and will be using 6oz leather. -
Greetings Y'all, I'm making my first leather pieces, inspired by Saddleback Leather. I noticed on Saddleback products, as well as others I've seen on the web, back pockets usually don't have a liner— they're just one sheet of raw leather. Does anyone know the reason why? Are there drawbacks to adding a back pocket, aside from the fact that it'll cost a bit more? Examples: pouch rear on amazon (take my word for the fact this pocket doesn't have a liner The classic Briefcase
