Sometimes all I see are mistakes. I made this bag a long time ago and didn’t finish it. My industrial machine was a beast that I couldn’t control yet. I used decovil but the leather didn’t need it. It also didn’t adhere properly. The stitches are too tight, uneven. The list goes on. But now it’s a good guide for what not to do. I put leather making on pause for a while and made a lot of fabric bags, so I could learn more about construction, technique, finishing and just get better. I’m finally ready to make it again. One in black, one in brown. Happy days.
