Vertical type PC bag

[ArildS]

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:

That is a fine looking bag! Love the colors, nice combination.

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!

Really like this and as for buckle choice I think you chose great personally I hate roller buckles useless things

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.

 Very nice! Good job on the molded front 

[Vapor Beast]

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.

Cool color combo!  I agree that the moulded portion is extremely nice.  Adds visual appeal.  Nice stitching also.

 Love the lines of this one,  the moulded area breaks it up nicely.
