Desert Moon Report post Posted October 10, 2014 I have been working on perfecting a tote bag I am happy with, this is very close just not happy with handle still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted October 10, 2014 I absolutely love the two tone. It looks nice! Yes, the handle is probably the weak point, but overall, quite nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xyshannen Report post Posted October 11, 2014 Looks great! I'm wondering what leather did you use one the handle that has a finished side on both sides? As far as "working" on the handle, have you thought about rolling the edges over and running a saddle stitch along booth sides? It not only would give a more finished look but the stitching would make it stronger and help prevent stretching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
builderofstuff Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Looks like a really nice design. I don't think the strap is that bad. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert Moon Report post Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks for I have done exactly this on the last few and they are looking much nicer, I also made one with a plain undyed veg tanned handle that looked good too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidL Report post Posted November 7, 2014 Looks clean. When you are turning the edges (Is there an common term, I used turning the edges for different things) how did you get the edges to fold exactly flat like the way you have it? Do you have tape in there, do you have a jig? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanFerrill Report post Posted November 9, 2014 I think stitching the strap is the only thing missing. Otherwise, beautiful work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traiven3d Report post Posted November 19, 2014 You may want to experiment with some interfacing to add some structure to the bag. Interfacing comes in a variety of weights, so you can still keep the bag soft and maleable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
