bikermutt07 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 For the record, you'd have to be one high class hobo to carry that bag. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I find bags online made by the high end designers..I look at the bag for days and get the measurements from websites. Then I think some more days on what they had to do to make it..then I make a pattern from the measurements. I’ve done that with the first two leather bags. This one I made my own but used techniques I learned from the other two. The dooney and Bourke Sloan was my inspiration. Thank you so much! That’s what that knot is called? Lol Dooney and Bourke does that with some of their straps. I fell in love with it and spent many nights in bed making it in my head until I figured it out lol! UKSADDLERY has a good video on making a dog leash with bleedknots at each end. I'm just finishing up two more right now. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members AdamPCain Posted March 3, 2018 Members Report Posted March 3, 2018 Very nice your work always looks great. Whenever my daughter and I go to the mall, she gets mad at me. In Macys or other stores I stop and pick up the purses and look at how it was made. I really like Micheal Kors designs they aren't over the top and clean looking. Do you skive any of your edges before you sew them? Quote

Do you skive any of your edges before you sew them? Thank you. Yes I just got a skiving machine a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t skive the fron and back, but I skived the gusset and the ring holder strap is one full piece with a thinly skived piece glued to it to cover the raw side. I’m loving that machine! ps. Not sure if that comment was for me or alpha 2! Edited March 3, 2018 by JeannieH Quote
Members AdamPCain Posted March 3, 2018 Members Report Posted March 3, 2018 What kind of skiving machine did you pick up. I am looking at the Highlead, I just picked up a Juki 1541s. Quote
Members Joseph1836 Posted March 3, 2018 Members Report Posted March 3, 2018 I have not made one yet. So how much it cost to make and how much will you sell it for Quote
