Members motocouture Posted January 12, 2020 Members Report Posted January 12, 2020 Hi all, recently finished an overnight / gym duffel for myself (Happy Christmas!). I drafted the design from scratch, and it is completely handstitched. Materials used were a light khaki crocodile, with olive HAAS tumbled calf leather (roughly 2.5 to 3oz weight from memory, thanks @nstarleather!). Thread is linen 532 Fil au Chinois in grey, and the edge paint is a custom color I mixed using Uniters (with a gloss top coat). Webbing for the strap is 38mm wide cotton webbing sourced from Amazon. Hardware is plated solid brass from @Buckleguy Supplier; great quality as always. As always, took longer to make than I thought it would Quote

Members Flyman Posted January 12, 2020 Members Report Posted January 12, 2020 Nice work. That's a lot of hand stitching, I guess the belt I'm doing next won't be so bad. Quote

Members Riem Posted January 13, 2020 Members Report Posted January 13, 2020 Just beautiful! I like it plenty... I have to do a similar one in the near future for a family member, so would you mind sharing the dimensions of your bag, please?
