Members nascenta Posted March 25, 2016 Members Report Posted March 25, 2016 You could use a shoe patcher (singer 29 or adler 30). They have a 360 rotatable foot dog so you can change direction without taking the bag off the machine. Check youtube Quote
Members EfrainBG Posted May 24, 2016 Members Report Posted May 24, 2016 If I were to saddle stitch something like this, I would do it with two separate threads (two pairs of needles), starting both in the center of the bottom edge of the pocket towards the corners. Once there, I would sew two or three of stitches at the time on each side. That way I would have space to put my hand into the pocket and see what I'm doing. Just my 0.02, anyway. Cheers! Quote

Members ConradPark Posted June 30, 2016 Members Report Posted June 30, 2016 EfrainBG is definetly on the right track. Also, I suspect, that if the small pocket is around 10-12cm in length, it shouldn't be too difficult to saddle stitch, even with only one thread starting 'normally' at one side. As long as you don't sew the large side panel together with the body until the smaller outer pockets are done first. While the main body is obviously sewn outside in, the side pockets are most likely done with all stitching holes made before sewing, then the pocket sides sewn onto the body side panel, and then the pocket 'outside' stitched on last, and because the leather seem very soft and as long as the main body haven't been sewn together yet, it really shouldn't be any trouble reaching anywhere with normal sized hands... Basically, it looks more impressive than it is. Quote
Members kobo Posted July 10, 2016 Members Report Posted July 10, 2016 FWIW, that bag looks like Donald Gambers work. He seems open to answering questions and has even put up tutorials on how he does some of his stuff. He hangs out on a few Facebook Leather groups; I think this one may be his:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1451504648434098/ K Quote
