Getting started: first handbag

[motocouture]

So, my Harley was a-callin' (sunny, 82F and a light breeze.....no choice really), didn't make as much headway sewing as I wanted to this weekend, but here are a couple of update pics.  Also ran out of thread with just half of the zip to go, naturally. Now waiting for my package from Egyptian thread

That is very nicely built.

They are a retailer for tiger thread.

Minor correction, that would be Egyptian Leather, on Etsy apparently  I just tracked them down.

Thanks @TheCyberwolfe, beat me to it   They are a great supplier, and do shorter lengths and samples if you don't need a 100s of meters.. .

Be kinda funny if you bought a set of sheets in 'Colonial Tan'

Stitching all done! All that's left now is to braid a small zipper pull, but in the meantime, here are some pics.  Included a gratuitous shot next to my buddy for size comparison
