Waxed Canvas Bags With English Bridle Straps

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

Super bags, elegant, bullet proof and very salable. Great idea and a very nice meld of the waxed cotton and harness leather.

Agree.  Very nice work.  How many hours do you estimate?

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

Hi dibbles,

I sell the bags for $160.00 + $17.85 for shipping. I have an etsy shop and a website. 98% of my sales are on etsy the website doesn't do much.

 

Thanks

Hi Don,

The bag takes about 4 to 5 hours. If I have multiple orders and don't have to change the color thread the bags take about 3  hours. 

 

Thanks

Very nice!  I like the use of copper rivets too.  I use them on the bags I make as well.  Customers seem to like them!  Thanks for posting!
