Hello everyone,

My next project is a ladies bucket bag as requested by my better half.

The bag will be hand sewn with 632 Fil au chinois lin cable in black

Black Horween Essex, 4oz

Brass hardware

Lined

Just got started last night, but personally I like seeing the progression of people's projects, so here is mine.

Thanks for looking

Chris

How much of the strap did you fold over the d-ring and down behind the strap? How are you going to finish the top edge? Fold over or sew a binding over it?

I have about 1-1/4 folded over and skived down at the end to lay flat.

yes i will be finishing the top edge but I still have to add a strip around the inside. Both exposed edges will be burnished and edge painted etc.

Next will be lining the interior (with phone and zippered pockets) and installation of grommets for the "drawstring"

Cool, looks like it's going to be a nice bag.

Thanks Monica! Fingers crossed lol

lilways, this particular bag is just the leather folded over onto itself. How you place the piping on the bag and where you stitch in relation to it is what gives the illusion of it being cylindrical (as if tube or wire are inside).

Personally I don't like anything synthetic (tube, wire, polyester etc) inside my work. I just feel synthetics won't age the way the natural materials do; My own preference.
