Onto the third bag....

Finally, all saddle stitching complete and bag turned! I have to say, I love working with this calf leather from HAAS (thanks again @nstarleather).  All turned seams were stitched with 0.6mm black Tiger thread and 3.0mm KS stitching irons (used linen thread only where it would show on the right side).

Now onto the lining, which will be in the same fabric as the small zippered bag in the previous photo.

@motocouture..I truly enjoyed watching the bag unfold to the finished project! Now only if I can find the time to attempt such a thing....

??Huh?  You put the liner in after you are done stitching the bag? How do you attach it?  New row of stitches?  Hope you photo document this one also, it has been enjoyable watching this bag come together..

         What he said! I gotta see how that's done.  What an awesome bag that is, you should be proud.

Beautiful. Now is a good time to play around with flexible stiffeners and padding s I'd say.

Fantastic! You did a great job on that! Thanks for showing the process.

OMG...Such a beautiful bag. Perfect looking! Thank you for sharing your steps. I was amazed!

Also, do you mind sharing the interior of the finished bag? I am still trying to learn the piping process and your process helps.
