Members stormcrow Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 A few firsts with this one my first Dopp bag, first go at using a zip, first turned bag and first go at adding a fabric lining. Bag is done with African Kudu and natural veg tan. Quote
Members joelpete Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 That looks great! My girlfriend's sister is getting married this summer and I'm planning to make a black dopp bag for him, and a white makeup bag for her, both lined with material from a bridesmaid dress, but I've never done a lining before. Do you have any reference you could suggest for lining (book, video, forum post, etc.)? Was this dopp bag your own design, or a purchased pattern? Quote
Members stormcrow Posted February 24, 2019 Author Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 I just did a search on YouTube for dopp bag and watched a couple of videos on there and made a pattern based on what I saw on there. One of the videos used a fabric lining so used that for ideas. https://youtu.be/uBR5VHiDeFc Quote
Members joelpete Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 Thank you. And again, good job on the bag! Quote
Members SilverForgeStudio Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 Love the Kudu- did you wax the finish or is that natural? excellent stitching to boot- BRAVO Quote

It’s very soft so the turning was considerably easier than I thought it would be. Quote
Members SilverForgeStudio Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 Awesome- being softer/more supple- is it 4-5 oz or heavier? Quote

bikermutt07 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Awesome job. 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.
