This is a first attempt at a new-ish bag pattern for me. I made a couple of larger bags similar to this a bit over a year ago, and wanted to try making something a bit smaller. I don’t tend to carry much when I go out, so I don’t want a larger bag.

Theres a bunch of details to change. The seam down the side was meant to be central but I kicked up a measurement around 3 different times. The tabs and strap loops need thicker thread and wider stitching, it looks way to small right now. I need to find a better way of marking and stitching the bottom tabs, they have no glue and will hold, but I don’t like relying just on the stitching. But the design is something I like, so back to the pattern I go for the next one. Got plenty of time to spare right now!

No, I don’t have any experience with linings yet, or how to best incorporate them into a design without it looking shabby.

2.2-2.4mm dyed-through vegtan, I don’t know or understand the weight measurement system!

No worries.... in the US we measure the thickness of leather in ounces. So the leather you used would be around 5/6oz.

thanks again for sharing your work !
