Members battlemunky Posted February 1, 2020 Members Report Posted February 1, 2020 Too late to sell her to the gypsies? J/K! What a beautiful bag! Did you do the dye work on the green or did it come dyed? I like the stippled look and someone had a question about how it is done in a different thread, so if you did it, please share how! Quote

No the leather comes like that. It is Badalassi Pueblo. You can buy it at Rocky Mountain leather or AA Crack here in the UK. Not cheap but lovely to work with. Quote
Members BentleyLeather Posted February 1, 2020 Members Report Posted February 1, 2020 Wonderful job! I made my wife a tote for Christmas and it was simple but hand stitching everything was VERY time consuming. So again great execution. May I ask how you did the interior. I assume you sewed a bag then glued it and stitched it up with the inner ring? Did you trim the lining back a few mm from where the leather connected at the top to allow for burnishing? Thanks, Bryan Quote

Thanks, Bryan Yes that’s pretty much how I did it except I only glued it to the ring. It doesn’t need to be stitched as you have solid 3 cm of adhesive the whole way around. As you say iit was very time consuming and labour intensive which makes it all the more galling that when I talked to the person I gave it to a couple of days later she had lost it. Talk about pi@@ed off! Quote

Members DJole Posted February 1, 2020 Members Report Posted February 1, 2020 The person you gave it to LOST IT? How do you just "lose" a bag? I can't... even...just... Well, we can only hope that another person found it and realizes what it is, rather than a 20 dollar generic bag from generic store. Quote \D.
