I actually don't. I get carried away and forget to snap pics during the process.

That is gorgeous! I'd like to eventually make a laptop bag for myself that looks as nice as this.

Thanks very much!

Forgot to ask did you use a frame to get the top to look like that? I am sitting on the fence about making a doctor style bag and I haven't used a frame before so was wondering how hard it would be.

No this bag does not have a frame. I'm relying on certain parts of the bag being double thick to maintain the structure. The 'panels' at the zipper, in this case, are double thick. I've found that if you design the bag correctly, with careful consideration, you'll never need a 'frame'. Unless you're working with dense veg tan/bridle,

Cool thanks for that, I am just now getting into designing my own things so wasn't sure if that was a frame or not.
