Members Rolandranch Posted August 7, 2017 Members Report Posted August 7, 2017 Hello, everyone! My mom is on a trip so I decided to make a surprise for her when she gets back. This purse is from 6 oz. veg tan and lined with suede. The strap is 8 oz. I hand tooled all of it from a pattern in a book. It took me an estimated total of 30 hours from start to finish. Let me know what you think! (My mom hasn't seen this yet!) Quote

garypl Posted August 7, 2017 Report Posted August 7, 2017 Great job! She will love it. 30 hours of labor - you would have to charge someone a premium price to recoup your labor time if you were selling it! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members KingsCountyLeather Posted August 7, 2017 Members Report Posted August 7, 2017 That's a great job on the bag! Your Mon will be very happy to have a bag that her son made with his own hands. I think it's rare these days that sons and daughters go to that effort to make their parents happy. It's a credit to you! keep up the good work. Quote

Members YinTx Posted August 7, 2017 Members Report Posted August 7, 2017 I say it rocks. Your decorative cuts stand out as your own style already. Stitching is pretty good too. Just trim/melt that thread hanging out and you have a perfect project!
