Possibles Bag

[Spinner]

Hey Ed, here is an example of how I am beginning to plan out my project templates. First I do the line drawing and then I can apply the layers and bevels & textures to it to get a rough idea of how it will look.

Look forward to seeing it Sunday at the local guild meeting.

I don't know if I'll have one of these finished yet Anne, here's the practice piece I will likely bring Sunday (hopefully with more progress on it):

I downloaded the trial version of XARA, which is completely new to me. Seems quite nice.

Thanks,

I made this bag for one of my wifes co-workers. he is supposed to take some pictures of it for me if he does I will post them here.

the bag turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself.

it is all hand stitched which took forever and a day!

I won't make another one without a machine.

Spinner, can you (or anyone) explain how the "rear support tabs" are used? I can see how the rest of the bag is meant to go together, but have no idea about those tabs. What do they support?

Perhaps you could use your new way of working up designs, to see how they look (computer rendering), on this bag.

And thanks! This looks like a perfect first project. I'm thinking of adding a gusset to the design.

I did not use the tabs on the bag I made for I did not see much of a need for them however the tabs go in between the front flap and back

Looks like they're used as a reinforcing hinge perhaps?

[St8LineGunsmith]

Ya that is my thoughts as well however the leather I used was pretty sturdy so It really did not need reinforcement.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

May God bless,

Tandy's online leather library has a black powder shooter pattern pack, and several patterns for possibles. Yeah it's not free but the patterns while look dated, the fifties, still are useful.
