CowboyDan Report post Posted November 15, 2012 Well, I finally finished the first of two diaperbags a few weeks ago. Finally getting around to posting a few pictures. Thanks for all the help folks here have given. There's no way I'd have done it without the suggestions on here. It's my first foray into leather in several years, and the largest project i've ever done by far. It didn't turn out quite as well as I wanted, but it was better than I thought it would be! Without further ado, here are the pictures: Both inner pockets are 7 inches deep and the opening is about 12 inches wide. The inside of the pocket is slightly wider than the opening. The bottle pockets are large enough you can put a 20oz coke bottle in them, or (what they were formed around) a large Pringles can! The bottle pockets are insulated using a single layer of the Warm Windows material. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=39228 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glendon Report post Posted November 16, 2012 We're always our own worst critics. We see the flaws in our own work because we have just been looking at them so long. The bag looks very well done to me. I'm sure you could improve some small things, we all could. But there's nothing on there I'd call a problem.

CowboyDan Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Construction looks solid, is it hand stitched? What weight leather did you use? Yep, ALL hand stitched. Having not stitched for several years, my fingers are still recovering!!! Weight varied by piece, and I don't remember exactly which piece was what weight. Side panels and the main panel (main panel wraps all the way around the bottom) were the same weight. That was the heaviest. I think the straps came out something a little lighter except for the billet on the inside. The billet was heavy like the sides & main panel. The handle mounting shields were from the same as the handles. The vegtan part of the bottle pocket was pretty light, as was the molded pocket with the basket weave. The other large pocket was about the same weight as the handles. The inside of the bottle pockets was a deer tan hide. The inner liner & associated pockets is pigskin.
