Members TapTapTap Posted January 16, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the comments folks. I don't know if age has anything to do with it BUT I forgot to add the details about the bag. The handbag pattern is from a Japanese Leathercraft Pattern book I purchased in 1982. All the instructions are in Japanese so I used my experience to work out the size of the gusset. The bag is carved from 2.5mm leather from Brazil and is lined with dark brown pigskin split. The edge braiding took 22 metres of 3mm kangaroo thong. I used the "double cordovan" braid. The dimensions of the bag are width = 15 inches at widest point, Height = 12 inches to top of handles and width of gusset = 2.5 inches. regards from TapTaptap Quote
