Members HaloJones Posted January 21, 2019 Members Report Posted January 21, 2019 So I wanted a new day-to-day hand bag, it needed to be sturdy - I tend to chuck it about, be worn as a back-pack & look a bit different. I have made a couple of bags before & I am still learning - gussets & edges I do need to work on still, my carving is getting better; but again more practice needed. No pattern, just made up as I go, So its a veg tan I got from Tandy (c.5mm thick) hand stitched with a thread, again from Tandy, the colour is the eco flow light brown cut 50/50 with water & buffed with snow paste for weather-proofing, lined with a finished pig skin lining. All comments & suggestions from improvement welcome, thanks for looking Quote
Members Retswerb Posted January 21, 2019 Members Report Posted January 21, 2019 Great work! That’s a good looking bag. Quote

Members Riem Posted January 23, 2019 Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 I'm so, so... NOT going to show this to my wife... Very nice bag! The stitch length compliments the sturdy build look.

bikermutt07 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Beautiful Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! 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.
Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 23, 2019 Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 Gorgeous, and nice use of the Tandy Celtic craftaids! I have those two, but haven't used them yet. Quote

Members HaloJones Posted January 23, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 Thanks all yes I do appreciate a craft aid as I can’t draw / trace very well yet Quote

Members DV8DUG Posted January 26, 2019 Members Report Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Nailed it! What did you do to the inside of the flap? Dark and cloudy. Looks awesome.

Looks awesome. All that is the application of the dye used on the bag generally, but to the flesh side, did not want to line that piece in case it came out too thick to close properly Quote
