Briefcase And Bits

[JonH]

Hey folks,

Thought I would post some pics of one of my briefcases and some bits and pieces I've made.

All a bit croc print heavy I realise, just the pics I've chosen. The curvy handbag ended up with twin rolled handles and a Sam Brown buckle.

Thanks for posting your efforts... They look very nice. The wavy design is particularly eye catching

Did you sew by hand or machine? Did you make up the design yourself?

I am yet to dip my toe in... hard to know what to start with... So its nice to see what other people have tried and their experiences

Thanks for posting.

Thanks Alex.

Yes all my own designs and everything is hand sewn. I like to do things nice and traditional, so simple designs, linen thread, pig skin or kid lining and solid brass buckles.

Glad you like.

[Hi Im Joe]

That curvy bag is awesome! All of it looks very well made. I love the lining.

Ditto Joe - the lining really makes it look classy. I've been wanting to pick up some croc print myself... in the absence of the unlikely event of someone gifting me an actual croc hide, of course.
