Members DukeandDrummond Posted July 23 Members Report Posted July 23 (edited) Prototyping out a weekender style bag from wool and leather. I've always loved these natural materials. Wool and leather. They seem to fit together, natural products for the natural world and so when I came across some affordable Greek surplus wool blankets I knew I'd have to experiment with making a bag out of them. This was all hand stitched and has a canvas liner to the wool, something I might not repeat in future as it made elements of hand stitching more difficult. I'd also use a chunkier zipper. The zipper pull is Ostrich leather for some added flair. Â Â Â Edited July 23 by DukeandDrummond Uploaded photos vs 3rd party hosting Quote
