My daughter needed a gift for the buyer of her project at our county stock show.  Since her buyer happens to be my boss’s wife I was able to customize a purse for her.  I used 5/6 oz Hermann Oak skirting for the panels, and for the gusset some chrome tan that I found at Tandy on clearance I thought look nice. The pattern I used was from Tandy’s purse pattern pack that I modified to have an interior pocket and have a wider gusset with a shoulder strap instead of the wrist strap it called for.  I used the tooling pattern that came with it slightly modified to incorporate the brand.  I gave it a couple coats of neats foot oil and used mahogany antique and finished with tan-kote.  Sewed it together with Maine Thread .040 twisted thread.  Here are some pictures, let me know what you think.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
