Members tailorsham1 Posted March 23, 2014 Members Report Posted March 23, 2014 A 12" x 12" x 4" women's bag in a caramel color with blue stitching. Interior is navy with a red lining for the zippered pocket and cargo pocket. And yes, all hand stitched and hand finished. I didn't notice until I was hand stitching the gusset on the right side of the bag that the leather was a little "gutty"... We'll just chalk it up to character... Ah... what's next? I appreciate any comments and critiques. Thanks! Quote

Members MonicaJacobson Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Huh, the bag closure is very cool. I wish I could get my projects to look that clean! Quote
Members tailorsham1 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 +1 to both comments above! What type of leather did you use? Thanks for sharing .... looking forward to seeing more of your work! Good question... wish I could answer it! A piece I had, and is now done. So truly, one of a kind... Unless I can find the leather again. It was actually nice to work - a reasonably hard finish but not too rigid that was easy to needle and to finish. Huh, the bag closure is very cool. I wish I could get my projects to look that clean! Thanks! Ah... Edge Finishing... Sand, dye, wax, polish. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And a little obsessive compulsive behavior - not a bad thing... Very clean design, nicely doneI liked the way the flap design integrate with the straps.. Thanks! Lovely purse...love the contrast for the interior! Thanks! Quote
Members leatherjo Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Very creative! I really like the cut of the flap and the leaf design on the handles. Quote
Members mene Posted March 26, 2014 Members Report Posted March 26, 2014 Simply fantastic, I really love it, this is my favorite type, simple, but elegant. Quote
