United Way bag

[ArtS]

We're raising money for United Way at work and I made this for our online auction at work.

It's a bag (either purse or tote) with matching key fob.

This is the first time I lined one and made a zippered pocket.

Very nice. For your first time it doesn't show!

Maybe next time, you can give us a heads up? You never know what you will get for your auction. After all, it is for a good cause.

Good luck

Very Nice Bag!!! Super clean and should bring alot at auction! Great job!

Great looking bag, very clean. That should fetch a nice price at the auction if anyone has any sense.

Very clean & neat look. What is the lining (pig, fabric, ....)? I like how you folded the top down 2-3 inches into the interior rather than just barely over.

Thanks, but the auction was just for people at work. I work for AT&T so there will be folks from all over the world seeing it and hopefully someone will bid on it.

Thanks Folks. I bought the lining leather a long time ago. It's paper thin and I think it's pig skin.

The inside top edge is actually a separate piece about 2" tall. I skived the top edges and glued them over about 1/2". Attached is a close up.

Thanks,

Beautiful job on the bag Art. Really professionally done. It looks like a pattern that would be sell suited for all kinds of leather, too....very nice!
