Messenger bag

Thanks Fire88

Hi BurnishMyLeather Hoe.

Its a fairly straight forward process - I cut a 10mm strip of leather to the required length from the same leather as the bag is made with. Then I cover this by gluing on a strip of pigskin about 20 mm wide. Once done, glue the piping to the gusset and the front/back of the bag and stitch. It gives a more even piping for ham-fisted characters like me and I think it is stronger than using a thin piece of folded leather. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for your interest
