Members Fraulein Posted June 11, 2023 Members Report Posted June 11, 2023 Hey all! Haven't posted anything on the forum in awhile but thought I'd share one of my recent projects. Put this little tote bag together in a couple hours for a last minute birthday present for mom. I never have ideas for what to make people till it's almost too late to get them done lol! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. This was my first try at decorative stitching and I really like how it looks. One unique feature that I'm really liking on this is that I used a really long zipper which enabled the zipper flaps to fold down completely out of the way on the inside so there's an option to leave it as an open top bag or zippered. Thanks for looking! Always open to tips and suggestions! Quote

Members Paulin631 Posted June 12, 2023 Members Report Posted June 12, 2023 Beautiful bag. Im new to leather. I've been working on my first tote. Takes a bit of time to gather all supplies and research. I hope to make a bag like yours someday. Hand skiving large pieces holding me back right now. Quote

The best gifts are the ones we make ourselves Thats very nicely done. I can't fault that at all . Maybe a matching monogrammed key ring with the same leather perhaps ?
