In continuing to improve and expand the skill sets I made my first purse. I drew up my own 1 piece pattern thinking I would like it better than the 2 or 3 piece versions I had seen in some tutorials.
Of course I used the opportunity to practice carving and tooling.
I used 6oz leather and it was a chore to get this thing flipped right side out after stitching it up. This stretched and distorted the sides and created the sag.:49: I'm also not happy with the snaps. I would have much preferred magnetic buckles or even studs, but I haven't either. Maybe next time or if the new owners wants me to I will order some and change them out.
Thanks for looking,
Chris
