ETW Grumpy Report post Posted July 3, 2017 I think this was a Tandy pattern in the 70's. I was wondering if someone might have the pattern for sale or know where I could find it or one like it. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jess Jones Report post Posted July 3, 2017 The body looks fairly simple to draw out. You may need to do a few dry runs with a pencil on top of some poster board and show some tenacity with it. But in my personal opinion,it hauled not be too difficult to replicate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) That do look like somethin' them hippies was into back then For some reason, folks wanted to "mystery braid" everything! The leather library has a couple of books with quite a few handbag patterns .. https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/p-1727-ideas-for-leather-projects-vol-1-1923.aspx? https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/p-1759-ideas-for-leather-projects-vol-2-1934.aspx There are two volumes, and much of the same info in one is in the other (including that "mystery braid" thing). I don't see that exact stamping pattern.. probably shipped on a free 'doodle page" back in 'the day'.... Edited July 3, 2017 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ETW Grumpy Report post Posted July 4, 2017 Jess Jones, yeah it should be fairly easy but I hate to reinvent the wheel if I can find a pattern. JLS, thanks for the links. Now if there was only a way to see a pic of each of the handbags they list. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the gals in my family had these, along with Ivory macrame purses with fringe. Both came from Juarez, Mexico. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
