ArildS Report post Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Made myself a new bag. It is hand sewn using yellow Somac 18/5, 3.85 mm stitch length. The leather is John Whites 4.5 mm sides, Sedgwick 3mm top , Dark Havana. The front and back is some kind of orthopedic leather, shaped around a wooden form. The strap goes around the bag once, to keep the top more rain proof, and I'm going to make a shoulder strap pad. The whole strap thing is temporary, and likely to be replaced. The bag is lined with some yellow/ green 'ish canvas furniture fabric. It's a good tip to choose a fabric color close to your thread, as it hides the stitches a little. > It's hard for a beginner like me to get good sticthes on this fabric, I think.. Edit: the buckles should have been roller type, I realize that now. Hope you like it: Edited July 23, 2017 by ArildS comment on the buckle type Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Drakkon Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Fantastic use of contasting colors to make the outside really pop! I'm a little bummed about the interior color, mustart yellow doesn't mesh well with that fantastic leather, it would be fun to see something like a bright color interior, but if that's what you had then that's what ya got. Overall though I really like the shape and visual feel of it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArildS Report post Posted July 27, 2017 Thank you all for the kind words. Strange stuff is happening to the Sedgwick part of the bag. I posted some photos in the general forum: Just FYI, I've sent an email to the supplier (Abbey), I'll let you know what they have to say about it.

cjones Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Very nice! Good job on the molded front Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vapor Beast Report post Posted August 22, 2017 Very nice, I really like the design. Is this your own pattern? I love the molded edge design, I have not ventured into molding much, a few knife sheaths. I may be attempting a few small altoids pouches soon.

Tugadude Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Cool color combo! I agree that the moulded portion is extremely nice. Adds visual appeal. Nice stitching also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
