Members 9tpi Posted November 26, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 26, 2015 A bit of an update; The body of the bag is assembled with lining, zippered pocket and iphone pouch (not pictured) as requested by my better half. Need to finish the edge on the top of the bag. Shoulder strap and handle still left to make. May redo the "draw string" as there is a bit of interference through the eyelets. Thanks for looking.

Members 9tpi Posted November 26, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 26, 2015 Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing the process. Thank you, and you're welcome ! Looking good. What's your plan for the edge? Thanks! Nothing crazy planned for the edge. Just burnish, sand, edge-coat, and a bit of wax. I just didn't have time last night. Awesome~ I love how you do the lower construction! Thanks very much. Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn

Members DavidL Posted November 27, 2015 Members Report Posted November 27, 2015 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). Do you mind elaborating on this? Im assuming the closer to the fold of the piping you stitch the more rounded it gets? What distance did you settle on to stitch the piping (4 oz leather piping?) When you stitch the piping and panel parts together how much leather is inside (that you dont see) if that makes sense? Quote

When you stitch the piping and panel parts together how much leather is inside (that you dont see) if that makes sense? Hi David, the piping; I usually mark the distance of my stitch line equal to the thickness of the piping. For example,4 oz folded over onto it self (8oz) is equal to 1/8 of an inch. Therefore I mark my stitch line 1/8 in on the piping. Inside the bag there is a larges excess that I later trim prior to turn the bag right side out. Nice work.
