Thread: Homemade leather bags.

I started this project the other day, I told myself that rough and ready was what I was after. I expected with that attitude I would be done by now. Sadly I fell into the same trap I always do. I started to agonise over design and accuracy...Which never gets me anywhere because the finished job always seem to end up looking shoddy anyway.
So tonight I have finish; Yes finished cutting out the bulk of the parts. There will be some smaller bits added to hold things like a pocket knife, fixed blade, multi-tool and torch in various spots in/on the bag, but for now I'm not too concerned. Now I'm thinking of marking out the position of the parts prior to punching the holes for the stitching together. This two day project is looking more and more like a month long project.

Here is the first photo, don't expect another for a while, but feel free to post pictures of your own handmade bags, preferably something you've crafted yourself and are proud of. And don't be surprised if I pinch a few ideas for later on.
