Hey all;

I am new to the forum and to leather work. I posted some pics of presents I made for my kids for Christmas. I still have some finishing to do but not completely sure what to do. On the satchel, I have applied carnauba cream so the finish is a little darker and looks a lot better. I still need to clean up the edges some too. Anyway, feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Thanks

Welcome to the forum! Those look great! How long have you been working with leather? I'm not a fan of plastic parts on leather, but that's a prefrence. On the satchel, I might suggest another row of stitches. It they will be carrying anything heavy in the satchel, that single row may not hold up as well. When I attach straps, I like to sew a box and then cross through the center.

Thanks. I've only been working with leather for a few months. Mostly just playing around. I don't like plastic either but it is what i had on hand on Christmas eve. I think you are right about the second row of stitches. I imagine this bag will be put to some tough use by my 12 year old. :)
