Thanks for that. Amazing what you can do with these digital cameras and 100 odd shots.

Thanks Wedgetail, The outer pattern's pretty simple really just a standard A4 sheet with 40 mm squares cut out of the bottom corners. Stitch up the edges 8mm in and then again 8mm across the bottom corners and bingo.  Patterning and putting in the zip stuff and it gets a whole lot my interesting. I hope it does mooooove soon or at least before one of me cows gets to see it

I bet! The lining seems intimidating too, not to make it too loose or too small... and that the pockets end up in the right place when you get it all stuck together.

Holly crrr...ap I just reread this and when I said A4 , I meant to say A3. I hope no one started something on that.. Sorry. With the lining until I did a few I left one end unstitched for a couple of inches and trial fitted it - marked the spot  and then stitched it all the way up.

Exudes quality and just great looking combination of materials. Care to share what leather you used on the bindings and straps? Like that.

The pads on the bottom have me scratching my head as to how you got them attached that cleanly. Least seen but impressive workmanship.

Hi Bugstruck. Thanks for the compliment. The leather I used on the straps and binding is called Jungle and is an oil tan retan from East Coast Leather in Brisbane Australia. It comes in about 2.5mm and I split it to suit. The feet or the pads on the bottom you could see more of in an earlier post I did on this tote done into a patchwork style. Here is the link-

I'm told there may be a short Video in the instagram pics so here a link to it as well. https://www.instagram.com/wildharryaustralia/

This tote simply blows my mind. Superb workmanship and great taste!

beautiful and beautifully done. I don't think I've seen blood knots on lined leather before, it looks great. 
Love those 3d printed feet too

Hahahahaha! That's mint.

Although I wonder if the marketing department is giving you a "bum steer"?
