I don't think I've seen blood knots on lined leather before, it looks great. 

Hi @Dun  That is the first time I have done that and being machine stitched I didn't think of the fold showing the bobbin side thread until I had it done.:( Had to unpick back to where it gets hidden about the fold and restitch. Live and learn. Re the feet ... I think I might make up some more interesting shapes like arc's and stuff. What do you reckon?

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

Thanks for the compliment but as I normally do crocodile that has to be made to very high standards, these are really more practice pieces. The last 3 croc ones we made for a retail customer sold in only 2 weeks at $3000+au each. As you would expect heaps more orders. The hardest part is working out how to make the leather ones at an affordable cost, example here would have to sell for near $700au and that does seem to slow the average buyer down a bit. Unless they know our product quality already that is.:)

Every time I think I’m improving I see something like this and realise I have a long way to go!

Thankfully LW helps make that come closer a whole lot quicker.

Its actually pretty easy except the edges often work better with a leather covering such as in the top edge here. Ignore the missus....she'll expect you to shave and all next if your not careful. You'll even be expected to know how to make your own coffee;)
