Motoko II backpack build

I finally finished up another of Tony See's pattern builds...they are really fun to do if you are not on a tight schedule.  This was some heavy oil tan from Acadia and the last bit of the chestnut W&C bridle.

Nice and very strong looking work there @koreric75 The emblem detail is very nice.

Thanks!, I can't take any credit for the design, even the emblem piece was on the pattern...i just used my stamp...lol.  The only deviations i made were to machine stitch the side reinforcement panels and the inside pocket and the front flap to the back before saddle stitching the gussets in.  And Tony uses a 1.5mm round punch for the holes, i opt for stitching chisels with 6mm spacing...works out to almost right on the money.

That is really sharp looking! Love the combination of the leathers.

I've seen a lot of round hole stitching going around, and wondered how well the patterns would look with standard chisel stitching.  I must say you did it justice!  Fantastic look.

Looking great! Well done. I love the look and thinking about the satchel version for my daughters work bag. Will be my first bag but you gotta love a challenge right?

Thanks, I think the main thing here is the round hole stitching would take to long and I'm not in for buying a cheap inline set... The chisels are cheap, but they're straight and sharp and fit the smaller thread better...I haven't tried getting 1mm through it, but the 150d flat stuff I use works... To keep the color match I used 277 in natural to match the pocket stitching with the Adler...
