carr52 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Well it was going to be a one piece when it started but I decided to add a pocket to the front. I'm glad I did. I like the pocket. I still need to make a shoulder strap. Tom
Members Rayban Posted February 27, 2009 Members Report Posted February 27, 2009 That looks great. I see stitching on the front pocket, but is the main compartment held together by just the leather lacing? If so, that's an In-Jean-Yes design!! Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Contributing Member UKRay Posted February 27, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted February 27, 2009 That looks superb, Tom! I do like the way the straps lace through the flap. Ray "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk
carr52 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Yep, it's all held together by the latigo lace on the sides. The only stitching is on the front pocket. I wanted the bag to be a one piece design and it was till I added the pocket. tom

carr52 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks you for the compliments guys. I thought I'd finally do the one project that I've been wanting to do for a year. A year ago I wanted to make myself a bag to carry when I went out with my metal detector. Well a year later I almost have it done. Thanks for all your help in my new hobby. I've learned more here at leatherworker then I could ever say thanks for. Tom
carr52 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 I liked the design so much I decided to make a laptop bag for my new macbook. Plus I cut the slots for the small straps on the macbook bag and after seeing how they looked in the picture I did the same on the Indy bag. Tom
tashabear Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I LOVE THAT. Can I steal the idea to make a purse for myself? Can I, huh? Please, mister, pleeeeeeeease? (If you say yes, I'll shut up. See? I even make it worth your while. )
