My first attempt at a bag

[stormcrow]

I’ve only done a few wallets belts and some belt pouches in the past but I’ve always wanted to have a go at a bigger bag. This is my first attempt at doing so, done with veg tan leather that I dyed mid brown. This one has a 3 part gusset that I copied from Ian Atkinsons messenger bag pattern I then modified the rest of the pattern to include a pocket on the front and back. This me took quite a while to do as I only really have a few hours at the weekends free but fortunately I’m not in a hurry as this is just a hobby not a career.

Advice and criticism welcomed.

This looks really great.  One of these days I'll work up the courage to try something bigger like this.

Solid and beautiful. I'd be proud carrying that and even more proud if I built it myself.

Very impressive. Good work! I eventually want to build a pc case that is that style.
