Mattsbagger Report post Posted November 28, 2016 A simple tote. Chrome leather with veg tan straps. Straps left natural and unburnished per the wife. She is the Bag lady.lol I say simple but it's a bit of a pain trying to get it in a workable place in my pony. And going around the curves is challenging. I didnt want to try and glue as any excess would show and was ascared of trying to rough it to give the glue a tooth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted November 28, 2016 Looks real nice and I like the color! What size thread did you use? I just started a tote bag today for my daughter in law. She wants to put a Mac laptop in it that measures 14x10" - I am lining the bag with pigskin, so I started with the lining, but forgot that when I sew up the bag I am losing 2" in width from both of the box ends. So now I have a pigskin liner that is too small, so looks like I will be making a smaller bag for my wife and a larger bag for daughter in law! I have to remember to measure twice before I cut the leather - luckily I had another piece of pigskin so I was able to cut out another larger liner. I have to learn to slow down...

garypl Report post Posted November 28, 2016 I like that a Tiger thread - just ordered some more from Egyptian Leather - they have the best prices I have seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
