Members Chief Filipino Posted April 23, 2017 Members Report Posted April 23, 2017 Here's my first purse I've ever made. I used a kit from Tandy that I picked up at a local used book store. I replaced a few of the parts with better hardware than was included. Thanks for checking it out! Oh and if anyone has any pointers on my tooling I would greatly appreciate it!

Members Sofaspud Posted April 23, 2017 Members Report Posted April 23, 2017 Very nice. I would not have guessed it was from a kit. Nice job on the lacing. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Great job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
alpha2 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 You nailed the lacing. The first lacing I tried, I thought it would never end. Learned a lot on that one, though. The rest of it is great too! Watch some videos on "decorative cuts" on YouTube. They really make the flowers come to life. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members Dave Richardson Posted April 23, 2017 Members Report Posted April 23, 2017 I like that style of handbag. Nice job on the lacing, the whole bag looks great ! Quote https://www.facebook.com/dave.richardson.35977
Members Chief Filipino Posted April 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2017 Thank you all! I appreciate the support. Alpha 2 I will look into the decorative cuts.
