Very nice! I am just finishing up a Tandy tote, so I have some idea of how much work that was, especially with all that beautiful tooling and stamping!

Did you line it, or is that the natural flesh side of the leather? And did the kit include all that nice hardware? 

yeah its lined with a coffee pig skin suede. kit didnt come with any of that hardware, the hardware that came in the kit was very basic and bland so i had to change it up. The sewing was murder.

thank you, and no prob. I had this thing for so long and been so afraid of doing it for fear of messing it up, i had over the last several months gotten comfortable enough with this size and complexity of a project to see it thru. I still consider myself a novice/beginner to the fact that i have very little time to work on anything. I do however lurk and look at picks on here and pinterest and a facebook group i joined to get ideas for stuff id like to try. This is a Christmas present for my mother she is FINALLY going to get lol.

Tell me about it! 

Yeah, I figured the hardware wasn't what Tandy provided. I just finished a Molly tote bag, and the next step is lining it. That's a WHOLE 'nother learning experience, as I found out with the first bag I lined! This one will have pockets and zippers, while the first one was just a plain liner.

Nice job of upping Tandy's stock tooling pattern to something more beautiful and complex!

the tandy tooling pattern that came with it was so plain i couldnt do it like that. plus its for my mom so i had to really jazz it up a bit for her. Cant have her walking around with it looking pain, shes a high class gal, had to do some high class work on it for her. Ya the cut out in the back was originally for concealed carry pistol but she upgraded so i was stuck with a hole lol, had to come up with something. The bag isnt that big so i didnt do pockets and also the original plan was for the pistol pocket so there would really have not been much room. ah well, it worked out

I made one about 10 years ago, it was one of my first projects, cant say that I use it much anymore but it was a great bag :-)
