Windrider30 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Everything is done by hand only had one issue and that was trying to figure out how to make the zipper pull tabs, only took me three times of breaking the stitching and re stitching to finally figure out how to put that part on. ALso first time i have ever done a square bottom turned out really good. The leather is a mineli side from tandy granite color very soft leather, in the pictures i just stuffed the bag full of news papers as when its empty it just collapeses on it self. There is no inner lining just the leather itself, mind you this is for me and I HATE putting wet things away in a bag with out first putting them in a plastic bag (normally zip lock ) because I do not want my bags to get wet or smelly! One question is when I make more, and I do plan on making more should I line it with plastic or line it with something else or don't line it at all?

SmokeyPoint Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Nice! Maybe look at getting a yard or two of 10oz canvas, you can also use it for burnishing the edges of veg tan leather. Make a removable liner out of that, then mix paraffin and beeswax 50/50 and wax your liner. People make waxed canvas dopp bags all the time. This would be that, with a leather jacket... -Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
