Couple of Purses

[jamesn]

I recently put together a couple of purses for my wife and daughter-in-law.

The purses are made from some designer leather I bought over the holidays from a Tandy leather sale. I think it is chrome tanned and about 5-6oz.

The first one constructed was the brown tone one. For both i used  pattern I had from Tandy leather.

I purchased a purse liner to use in this one and salvaged the back zippered pouch from another purse. I struggled with installing the purchased liner.

The second purse constructed was the grey tone one using the same pattern.

I made some changes on how I constructed it including made my own back zippered pouch and purse liner with top zippered closure. The top zippered closure still looks bulky to me.

Had to figure out how to pipe the seams and roll the edges with this leather and the inability to finish the raw edges. Did the best I could.

Could also use some suggestions on how to make a better top zippered closure and purse liner.

Thanks for looking Jim

These both look great, very cleanly executed and all those piped edges are very nice
