Members 3wunder Posted April 28, 2015 Members Report Posted April 28, 2015 Hi all! Did this two weeks ago for a friend of mine. It's a simple design — and deliberately so, as she's very much into that minimalist aesthetic. Hope you like it. Adam Quote
Members Europeanleather Posted April 28, 2015 Members Report Posted April 28, 2015 Nice job! What weight leather do you use on the gusset? Do you skive the edges? Quote
Members 3wunder Posted April 28, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks, guys! Nice job! What weight leather do you use on the gusset? Do you skive the edges? The whole bag is made from 8 oz. shoulder. There was no need for skiving the edges, this stuff wet-forms and stitches like a dream. Quote
Members kiwican Posted April 29, 2015 Members Report Posted April 29, 2015 very nice, how far in did you wet form the crease? im wanting to make a leather bag but still very gun shy about messing it up Quote
Members Squirrelly66 Posted April 29, 2015 Members Report Posted April 29, 2015 I'ts a very nice bag. You do very good work. Quote
Members 3wunder Posted April 29, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) very nice, how far in did you wet form the crease? im wanting to make a leather bag but still very gun shy about messing it up The crease is about 13 mm wide, I think, but you could get away with much less. I have made lots and lots of smaller things, but this happened to be my first larger bag. I'd say go for it, it's well worth a try. By the way: I simply formed the gussets over a last. I'ts a very nice bag. You do very good work. Thank you! Edited April 29, 2015 by 3wunder Quote
Members 3wunder Posted April 30, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2015 a last? Like a cobbler's last ... a wooden dummy to aid in shaping the leather. Is there a better term for it? Quote
Members 3wunder Posted May 2, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 2, 2015 Very nice! Merci beacoup. Quote
Members Frederiek Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Love it. Beautiful piece of leather too! Quote
