More Leather

Monday, October 12, 2009


After Jen Swearington's workshop in pattern making, I realized that I could draw out a design on paper for a messager bag and make it out of leather. It took a couple of weeks to get everything right but overall, a success. I love carrying this bag because it's made from scratch and all hand stiched! The leather is thick but after I stained it this rich fudge brown, I twisted, tugged, and pulled at it which distressed the leather making it much softer and more flexible.
