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. Quote

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.

Members Bugstruck Posted June 6, 2018 Members Report Posted June 6, 2018 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. Quote

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/ Please ignore the bums in there....my daughter in law has been busy looking after the postings on that . Lookin for a broader audience I am told..... Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
