Members Pauls Leather Posted July 9, 2018 Members Report Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) As part of my very small growing side business I designed (nothing really new out there but you know what I mean) this utility messenger bag. On this piece I used black utility oil tanned leather. While it is oil tanned it's not overly oiled as too ruin anything but still has a good resistance to water if caught in a rain. Stitched with my Cowboy CB-341 using gold 138 bonded nylon thread and skived with a CB-801 Bell knife Skiver. Has two contrasting size pockets with a snap button on the front and a speed pocket on each end Interior is lined with an Alexander Henry original print called "Las Senoritas". Dimensions are 15" long x 5" deep x 10" tall Edited July 9, 2018 by Pauls Leather upload lower res pics Quote
Members YinTx Posted July 9, 2018 Members Report Posted July 9, 2018 Awesome. Love the use of the artwork for a liner. YinTx Quote
Members DV8DUG Posted July 9, 2018 Members Report Posted July 9, 2018 That's some crazy senoritas inside that bag there...Ay yai yai! Quote
terryHHI Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 I like the bag shape! I love the lining! Fun to open and see a surprise! Quote
garypl Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 Great looking bag and I love the lining! Only critique is that I think the front straps would look better if they were rounded instead of squared at the tips, but that’s just my opinion. Nice job! Gary Quote
bikermutt07 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 I would smile a very wry smile every time I opened that bag. Sweet. Quote

The stitch-line is square where it attaches to the top of the bag above the rivets, and square on the ends. Edited July 10, 2018 by Rockoboy Quote

Members Tugadude Posted July 11, 2018 Members Report Posted July 11, 2018 Very nice! It has a soft, supple look to it and I like the way the flap will protect against anything, rain, dirt, etc., entering the sides. Quote

Here is the semi side view of it of the flap that overhangs on the sides. It does a pretty good job and keep everything in. Quote
MikeG Posted July 15, 2018 Report Posted July 15, 2018 I love the liner - can you tell me what material it's made of? I can't imagine it is canvas or paper. In any case, it's a beautiful application. Quote

Either way it feels nice and looks good. Quote
Members irish47 Posted July 16, 2018 Members Report Posted July 16, 2018 Lot of talent there, very nice job...... Quote
Members blink1688 Posted July 17, 2018 Members Report Posted July 17, 2018 Haha, I saw the first couple pictures and wondered "Hmmm I wonder what the surprise could be...". After reading your original post and started scrolling... Whoah! They weren't kidding. Looks great! I better be careful, if my wife sees, she's gonna want one like it and I don't have a sewing machine yet lol Quote
