Members rawr66 Posted November 8, 2014 Members Report Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Here are a couple of totes I made from Arthur Porter's video on making a tote without a gusset. The totes are made of kodiak oil tanned side and an oil tanned utility side for the accents and pockets. It was a little tough stitching the bottom with three thicknesses of leather moving around. I don't mind the raw edges, but I'm entertaining the idea of piping. There's also a simple collar I made for my dog. Used a floating dee ring and lined with pigskin.

Members the gafer Posted November 8, 2014 Members Report Posted November 8, 2014 Nice collar you should have put the d ring under the lining and then sewn it makes for a cleaner look that's what I did on mine Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted November 8, 2014 Members Report Posted November 8, 2014 Very nice, I really like the tote with more red on it. ` Quote
Members JAZZMAN Posted November 8, 2014 Members Report Posted November 8, 2014 Wow raw66, i am only just starting out on my journey in to leathercraft and so cannot offer an expert opinion on your work. However i do know that i would be incredibly proud if i had produced those items,great work, how long have you been doing leatherwork? Quote
Members rawr66 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks for the idea, gafer. It was my first time making a something lined like that so I wanted minimal room for screw-ups. Thanks Monica, me too. I wish I had a sewing machine so the turn around was faster. Thank you Jazzman. I've been doing leatherwork since around December, so coming up on a year. I haven't done as much as I would like because of school, but I enjoy it a lot. Quote

Members JAZZMAN Posted November 9, 2014 Members Report Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Hi Gafer , that looks strong enough to hold an elephant what a great job, please could you tell me as i am new to leatherwork is the point of lining leather for comfort or just because it makes a nicer look on the inside?
