Members Miett Posted August 22, 2010 Members Report Posted August 22, 2010 I got a job in this week that was the largest piece I've ever done- a 17"x12"x5" reproduction of an old leather postal carrier's bag. I never really use a template, but the bag came out nice and centered and looking really swell I think. I used about 20 rivets, and everything is hand sewed. Took a couple days, but I'm really happy with it! I'd love any thoughts, or maybe ideas for next time. This one is natural leather, which the customer will tan and oil to his liking, so it'll eventually turn a nice carmel, then get darker over time. Absolutely brilliant! I would love to try making one of these when I have more experience under my belt. You mentioned you had an original to work from? Is that why you didn't use a template? Quote
