alpha2 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Posted July 4, 2018 Second attempt at Messenger Bag for the boss. A lot of experiments with the first one, just a couple on this one. I tried some folded edges, and an interior piece with pockets for cel-phone, pen and keys. This one is a bit wider and deeper. Also went with a different closure than the first. The first one had a magnetic closure, and I hated it. The flap was fairly flexible, and lining up the two parts was difficult. I also stitched the 2-ply strap and flap on this one.

alpha2 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Posted July 4, 2018 Thanks, guys! The blue was the boss's choice. I showed her all the colors I have in stock, but she's seen a couple of belts I did in black bridle with the blue. Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

Members Scoutmom103 Posted July 5, 2018 Members Report Posted July 5, 2018 I really like the blue thread against the black. Is it also out of black bridle? I also like the removable holder. Quote
alpha2 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Posted July 5, 2018 Yes, black bridle. The first removable sleeve I made for Bag 1.0 didn't include a coin purse...I was "informed" that wouldn't do! Mrs. A2 doesn't begrudge me anything I spend on leatherwork stuff, so she gets whatever she wants. Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
