New Leather Bag - Feel free to discuss anything related...
Greetings,
As I stated the other day I've just started work on a new leather bag. I'm going to take my time on this, but I'm going to document the build process as I go along.
So far I've cut most of the leather out. I've made several sketches and one full size paper template so I already know what I'm planning on doing. I have purchased a double shoulder in 8-9oz leather (about 13 square feet at $5 per square foot) and most of it is going to be used in this one bag. I have also purchased about 10 square feet of lining leather (1-2oz mission grain, dyed dark brown).
The bag is going to have a laptop pocket (lined with part of a sleeping mat) and a 3" deep pocket. I'm also intending on putting three smaller pockets on the front, one with three pen loops inside it.
The leather I'm using is fairly thick and so the bag will remain pretty rigid (extra protection for the contents). The leather was veg-tanned and is natural in colour so I can tool it (I will put some tooling on the outside) and I will dye it.
The bag will be hand sewn together... Hopefully I'll be able to take the first photos tonight.
If anyone has any questions then feel free to ask. To some extent this is a learning exercise for me too as I've never made anything quite this big before.
