Members YinTx Posted December 19, 2017 Members Report Posted December 19, 2017 Might never make another like this, but it came out ok I think. About 100 hours labor in this one, Rose Chevre Chagrin on black Wickett and Craig 3-4 oz Bridle leather (from NStarLeather), with 25 linear feet of hand stitching using Pink Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable thread. My hands are tired! YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo

The only easy stitches on the whole bag were the pockets. and the straps. Everything else was a stitch by stitch challenge. Managed to only poke myself once in ~2750 stitches. When you do the side panels, your left hand sweats a lot since it is in the bag the whole time, amazing how well leather insulates. Makes pulling needles through in a confined space a bit difficult. 4 hours ago, gigi said: Very nice work! What is the size/weight of the bag? I used 3-4 oz Wickett and Craig Bridle leather. Doubled on the pockets so all sides are nice, and the main body was lined with a split to make it about 6 oz. It is about 10"x10"x4", not too heavy although I didn't weigh it. 4 hours ago, Pauls Leather said: very nice work. what did you use for your edging? I used Tandy's Eco Flo Professional Edge Dressing (Black) made by Fenice. 4 hours ago, KingsCountyLeather said: Beautiful work! was it for a client or someone you know? difficult to make a profit with that many hours. You are on point. It is for a client and someone I know. Long story short, my late best friend's widow married again a few years back. The current husband wanted something for her. She is a good friend of mine also. (if all that made sense...) I think I managed to cover materials on this one and make about $1/hr. He promised to video her when she opens it on Christmas - payment in full. 3 hours ago, Fire88 said: Beautiful bag! Thank you, and thank you all for the nice comments. A lot of work went into this one, and I still see the requisite bad stitch and other not so perfect errors, so it's good to know that everyone still sees the beauty in it!
