First Bag

[DwightT]

My wife and I decided to make a tote bag for our daughter-in-law. She made the bag, lining,  and pockets on her sewing machine, and I did the medallion and hand stitching of the top and attaching the straps.  Never done a bag before,  but I think it turned out pretty good.

Thanks all.  The design of the bag and the pocket layout is all from my wife.  I particularly like how she did the outside pockets.  Instead of individual pieces of leather for each pocket, she instead cut one piece with the size and placement of the pockets predetermined, and stitched in between as needed.  Less stitching, and fewer unfinished edges.

Very nice good work

That’s a pretty nice bag!

I like the outer pockets, and the inner pockets.

many times I see bags presented with no pockets at all, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

But I like pockets.

Well done!  Handsome bag and pretty fabric for the liner.  The medallion makes it even more special.
