Women's Purse Just Finished!

[tailorsham1]

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!

Huh, the bag closure is very cool. I wish I could get my projects to look that clean!

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.

Thanks! Ah... Edge Finishing... Sand, dye, wax, polish. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And a little obsessive compulsive behavior - not a bad thing...

Very creative! I really like the cut of the flap and the leaf design on the handles.

Simply fantastic, I really love it, this is my favorite type, simple, but elegant.
