Members 9tpi Posted May 28, 2016 Members Report Posted May 28, 2016 Hello all, A recent bag i made for my better half. Design was her request and my job was to execute. The bag is completely hand stitched (saddle stitch) with 432 Fil au Chinois, ecru, linen thread @ 6 spi (7tip iron). Leather is Horween Latigo, 5 oz thick. Brass harware. While i love the temper that the Latigo offers (beautiful for a structured bag) finishing the edge is not an enjoyable process. I'm sure a fileteuse would make it a far more tolerable...one day. Cotton lining, zippered pocket and cell pouch. Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn

Members GrampaJoel Posted May 28, 2016 Members Report Posted May 28, 2016 Unusual bag design, but the execution of it is breathtaking good. That is some of the best hand stitching I have seen in awhile. Quote
Members veedub3 Posted May 29, 2016 Members Report Posted May 29, 2016 Very nice! I would be thrilled to have that bag! Karina Quote "The only man who makes no mistake, is the man who does nothing." Theodore Roosevelt
Members thefanninator Posted May 29, 2016 Members Report Posted May 29, 2016 Nice work! Stitching looks great. Interior looks really nice, complex but not overly busy. Creases look good. How many coats did you use for your edges? Looks like they just need more sanding and a few more coats... But it gets old I know. Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/

But it gets old I know. I only had 2 coats, maybe 3 at times. Probably should have spent more time painting and sanding. I got impatient lol And thank you for the kind words.

Members misarins Posted May 31, 2016 Members Report Posted May 31, 2016 Celine inspired bag Unusual is that handle stitched with edge paint facing the front side. 6spi is definitely stands for a traditional saddlery. Well done and keep going. P.S.: FIleteuse will make a huge difference Quote
