Do it yourself bag

I decided to share the history of the creation of a leather shoulder bag tablet.

I am recently engaged in the skin, but I will try to describe the process to describe my skill and write something like Tutorial.

So let's go!

First, we pretend the sizes of the bag - I was fluttered the bag under the format A5 with a small margin, 180x230mm, the thickness of the main and only separation is 65mm.

In addition to him, we will have 2 pockets, one on each side of the bag. Cut the front wall of 180x230mm and rear 180x460mm - the length with the valve.

Pockets 140x160mm for the rear wall and 140x140mm in front of the front. All parts need to round the corners, except those that will not felt, that is, the upper one. On the back of the wall, all 4 corners curve, it is worth it that the valve should also be rounded. Rounding do on ordinary five-star.

Let's catch the length of the sidewall and make it with a small margin, the skin is still. A piece turned out to be 65x640mm, but closing ahead, I can say - you can do 40mm less.

We pierce the holes under the seam, it is done by either a special 3mm step, or a regular selection on the markup ... or you can dreamed to chop. Now it is necessary to calculate the holes, and do the same on the back side as well as on the sideway.

Only after that you can cut off the desired length of the sidewalls.

In addition to the seam, it is necessary to immediately make the holes for the valve lock - in my case a hobur button and a strap stack on two screws. Pose a special leather displacement.

We process the skin and end (ureze) wax and rub it, so we will not give her to spoil and give the schish look, slightly stronger than the otters any details.

We clamp into the wooden vice named "Shore Pony", or just holding a pocket in your hands. Seam is called Shorno-saddle, it is done in 2 needles.

I got the front pockets with a little damage to the skin, but it seems to me that it only emphasizes the naturalness of the product and does not harm him in reasonable limits.

The stitched seam is chopped by a hammer or a queen to remove the tension.

We install a cobwlock and pry, the latter is slightly freely, so that it would be easy to stick the clasp.

Pockets on the back did from the inside of the main compartment.

Sut off a piece of leather for a fastener of about 30x90mm in size, do not forget to treat wax, and sew to the valve.

We make a hole with a "cross" hole, only besides other things, I decided to make a pocket to the valve itself, on this last line, which coincides with the suture of the pocket, we do not flash, otherwise it will be unreasonable in 2 threads.

Clasp

To the sidewall cut 2 fastenings under the semiring, and sew, it is a mount for the belt bags.

The front wall of the bag with fittings installed and an inserted pocket.

Send the sidewall. The most difficult and labor cost - the Shorn Pony can no longer hold, everything is in hand, and it is necessary to delay much - the main seam is no longer.
