Members TheTrooper Posted January 8, 2008 Members Report Posted January 8, 2008 Hello @all, here I have my first real leather project I´ve made as an X-Mas present. It´s an hand stitched leather bag with a tooled patch on it. What do you think ?!? Cheers, Marcel Quote FKA adamant-leather Feel free to visit my site adamant-leather.de

Members johnny7 Posted January 8, 2008 Members Report Posted January 8, 2008 NICE BAG, STITCHING LOOKS GREAT. Quote
Members TheTrooper Posted January 8, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks a lot guys... I have to do the stitiching by hand, bacause I don´t have a proper sewing machine for leather. I mean it takes longer (especially for a beginner), but from my point of view it also brings out the real "handmade" character of a project.

TomSwede Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I like that bag! Looks great for bringing home those heavy milkbottles from the store and probably more environmental friendly than the plastic bags that are so popular where I live. I can only agree with your opinion about the handmade characteristics, I really like the craftmanship to show through, now if I could just get rid of "sloppy work" too, ha ha All the best and keep up that good work!

Members dbarleather Posted January 8, 2008 Members Report Posted January 8, 2008 Beautiful work! Looks like it will hold up great. Make sure you keep it around so that you can look back at it in 5-10 years, I bet it will make you smile. Congratulations! Quote http://www.dbarleather.com
Ambassador Don101 Posted January 8, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 8, 2008 Marcel congrats on the first project its a nice piece you can be proud to show, Don Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 9, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 9, 2008 Very nice piece! Only one thing I can see you could improve- At the heel side of the bevel, run a modeling tool along the ridge to smooth is out a little. All in all, a superb job.
