Members Mattsbagger Posted April 15, 2020 Members Report Posted April 15, 2020 My daughter asked me to make he a tote bag for work. She is VERY specific about what she want. I mean VERY. Its made with the Granger Excel 4/5 oz. Quote
Members Retswerb Posted April 15, 2020 Members Report Posted April 15, 2020 Mission accomplished! The nice thing about specific requests is you know you’ve given something that will get used. My daughter wants a bag but hasn’t given me much to go on, I hate putting work into something I don’t know if she’ll like. Nice work on this one. Quote

And then there were a lot of questions and pictures off the internet. Like this but not this. If ya know what I mean. Lol Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted April 15, 2020 Members Report Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Nice. Nothing like putting a lot of love, thought and work into a hand crafted gift to have the recipient not use it or turn up their nose and reject it outright. Edited April 15, 2020 by Scoutmom103 Quote

Members AzShooter Posted April 30, 2020 Members Report Posted April 30, 2020 Very nice work. I just downloaded my first pattern and I'm hoping to make it next week. Quote

The straps are double layer. I didn’t like how the test piece stitched up. So it’s glued and the edges are painted with Fenice paint. About 4 coats. And thank you.

Members TG23 Posted May 1, 2020 Members Report Posted May 1, 2020 I know all tote dimensions are different....but need a rough estimate on how much sqft of leather to buy to get at least 2 maybe 3 average sized totes. Quote
