Members DwightT Posted January 29 Members Report Posted January 29 One of our granddaughters is in to Irish dance, which requires two pairs of dance shoes. She had been carrying her shoes to classes and events in just a general bag, so my wife and I made her a tote bag out of leather: The colors in the photos are off because of crappy lighting, but it was made using burgundy chrome-tan for the main bag with veg-tan died with Feibing's burgundy die for the center piece and the name plate. There is a zippered pocket on the back, and another pocket in the inside liner for things like her dance socks or shoe waxes. The Celt-ish design on the center piece came from the design that is on her dance costume. I traced over a photo of her in her costume and turned that into a carving pattern. It was an interesting project from coming up with the design to trying to figure out the process of putting the pieces together and there are lots of things we would do differently if we were to do it again, but overall we're happy with the results, and our granddaughter loves it. /dwight Quote
