Frodo, It appears that much of the stitching isn't drawing up tight.  Do you know what is going on there?

I like the design, and your dyeing technique. Is that sewing done with your patcher machine?

Nice work and very nice color !

Could you tell us which dye you used?

 

Thanks :

I used 2 dyes.  antique  mahogany  and black  [mahogany is cut by 50% rubbing alcohol]

dyed the whole thing mahogany,  did not touch up uneven dye areas

dipped a sponge in black dye,  then rubbed off half the dye,

I died the edges black and the top edge black by holding the sponge on an angle so that i died the top and edge at the same time, randomly

then just rubbed the body of the leather here and there..

then sealed it all with goof proof  water based finish

You need to get the stiching dialed in, it looks uneven and loose, and bevel and slick up the edges, they look pretty rough, which makes the bag look rough.

It's the little things that make a project really stand out.
