Rossr Posted August 31, 2018 Report Posted August 31, 2018 Yin, Did you have a specific plan or template you followed. I found lots of info doing a search but just curious what template you followed if any. I need to make one for myself. Mine is wearing out(not leather) and its old. SO I figure might as well make one for myself Thanks Ross Quote

SO I figure might as well make one for myself Thanks Ross Rossr, I just did some math and sketched the pattern out myself...turns out I screwed up the math, so the dimensions weren't exactly what I was expecting, but came out ok anyhow. Since the math was off, I tossed the sketch. Here is one I just did so you can see the shape. It is stitched inside out obviously, and turned. The two matching pieces of zip are on opposite sides. Let me know if this makes sense to you. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo

Rossr Posted September 1, 2018 Report Posted September 1, 2018 Ok I got mine done . Overall it wasn't bad. I did machine stitch mine. And I did get off a little on the one side carved panel. I cant imagine hand stitching these my hat is off to you Yin! the machine made it pretty quick. Most of the figuring was just in the learning on how to do it. I would make the left to right handle a shade bigger next time and the inside bugs me with the mass of the leather showing in there. Which could be tamed by skiving it down. Bag is Oil tan leather(Is this what is called pull up leather?) The side panels that I carved are veg tan of course. Overall I felt I rushed the carving and sewing the carved panels on a bit. But its a user for me. So that is ok I guess! I dont want to hijack Yins topic here and I will post another one under show off but figured I would add the pics Ross Quote

The leather I had used was pretty thick. I really need a bell skiving machine to get nice and even, as well as faster. Even with the skiving, I added a cotton binder to the inside to clean up the look some, but still it was a bit much for my taste. Not sure what one could do about that.

Rossr Posted September 4, 2018 Report Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Yea I should have used the skiver on it but it's fine for me. Next one I'll do some playing with that. Just a reality of how it goes together. Edited September 4, 2018 by Rossr Quote
