Hi Guys,

I have tried my hand at this before, but now I need assistance!

Anyone out there that has a pattern for one of the following styles:

1.Tie down

2. Base to base zipper

Or explain to me the way to cut the leather to achieve the outcome I wish to persue.

Thanks - I know there are experts at this!

Not a pattern, but how you would create that, is to take your two rectangles of leather (or one large rectangle and omit the bottom stitch), stitch the bottom and two sides and attached your zipper to the two top edges. Create the square bottom of the bag by cutting rectangles and then stitching the two sides together to create the box. On the upper edge, don't do this. Flip the bag to the outside and you will have your tie down section because that triangle would have been your rectangle if you wanted to box it.. You see this done a lot in dopp kits but I've never seen on in a duffle. Looks great!

I would say by looking at it use a large box and use a gift wrap method to achieve the look of the first picture, just my 2 sense

Hi,

Isaac - I don't have any other view - sorry.

ShannonW - thanks for the reply, but I was lost in the second par. Being a pictures person it might help if you could perhaps send me a sketch.

Thor - I have made a bag similar to the idea you sent (see pic), but it seems for a tie down the pattern needs to be cut specifically to allow for the tie down.
