Members BattleAx Posted May 19, 2018 Members Report Posted May 19, 2018 I sew up these bags with a Cowboy CB-4500 that I got from Bob over at Toledo. I use #277 thread with the heavy waxed canvas this machine is great for all my heavy leather and canvas work. I just got a Consew 225 for the light leather work and binding the inside of some of my lighter canvas bags. I have a binder from Tennessee Attachment for the Consew this is a great company if you are looking for any kind of attachments for your machines. The leather on the bags is English Bridle from Wickett & Craig very nice leather. Quote
Members YinTx Posted May 19, 2018 Members Report Posted May 19, 2018 Those look really nice. I've been dreaming to make this type of bag for some time... maybe I'll get time in the near future!

garypl Posted May 19, 2018 Report Posted May 19, 2018 Nice work on the bags! What type canvas did you use? I went to local fabric store and the only canvas type material they had was duck cloth, and it seemed very lightweight to me. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members motocouture Posted May 20, 2018 Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 Beautiful bags, look like they’ll last two lifetimes, and thanks for the link to your source. Quote
Members BDAZ Posted May 20, 2018 Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 Super bags, elegant, bullet proof and very salable. Great idea and a very nice meld of the waxed cotton and harness leather. Bob Quote
Members Silverd Posted May 21, 2018 Members Report Posted May 21, 2018 Agree. Very nice work. How many hours do you estimate? Don Quote
Members diibbles134 Posted May 22, 2018 Members Report Posted May 22, 2018 If you don’t mind me asking what do you sell your bags at price point wise, I find that the hardest for myself is proving my work Quote
