Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 17, 2014 Members Report Posted March 17, 2014 Hi all, I just finished using the rest of the Austin leather I had. I had just enough to make this decent sized purse, or whatever you want to call it. It's 9 oz. Austin leather, and I hand stitched all of the details. Thanks for looking! Monica Quote
Members chrstn53 Posted March 17, 2014 Members Report Posted March 17, 2014 Absolutely beautiful bag Quote
Members rosiart Posted March 17, 2014 Members Report Posted March 17, 2014 How unique and beautiful...Thanks for sharing. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 17, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks, everyone! I can't take credit for the idea; I saw a beautiful journal someone had made in this style, but I couldn't find out who had made it or if it was for sale anywhere. Maybe it was someone on this forum!

Members Frederiek Posted March 17, 2014 Members Report Posted March 17, 2014 I LOVE IT! A little glad you got the inspiration elsewhere so I don't have to feel if I steal it :D Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 17, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 17, 2014 Ha ha, the market will be suddenly and inexplicably flooded with them . . . Quote
Members AndersenLeather Posted March 18, 2014 Members Report Posted March 18, 2014 That's a real good looking bag. You did a great job! Quote
Members Razmot Posted March 18, 2014 Members Report Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Well applying it to a purse was original! An they do say "Imitation is the highest form of flattery" anyways great looking bag..... By the way, the stitching is also impressive. Edited March 18, 2014 by Razmot Quote

Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! It only lasted two hours in my etsy shop, so I guess I should make another one. And maybe a mandolin one, as well! Quote
Members WScott Posted March 19, 2014 Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 And a guitar and a banjo and a chello.... You may have really hit on something Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 21, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 21, 2014 Heh, thank you WScott. That's right, just wait until I get to trumpets. Just kidding, probably. Quote
AndyL1 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Very nice! I love the flap detail and the leather you used looks to be very nice too. I'm sure it will last forever. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Thank you, guys! Maybe I'll be able to afford one to keep eventually. Quote

Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 31, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 31, 2014 Thank you for the kind words, Tailorsham and LMO! Now I just need to use a darker colored thread to mimic the black purfling. Quote
