The skin is distinguished by an increased wax content, it brightens on bends and acquires the original color when polished.
Made a few sketches, how the bag will look like and have worked some details.
Accessories decided to apply the colors of an old brass. Refused buckles, used only thick frames, cobwny buttons and zipper 8 sizes. The sizes of the bag took the standard: 50x30x30 cm. On the basis of this made templates of parts from cardboard, distributed a piece of pieces and revealed. I did not expect such a large piece of skin 160 square meters. DM is enough in bulk.
Began to collect lateral support for the handles. Under the scope, I pasted a kapron braid to prevent skin stretching. Place, glue, break, sew.
Threads used 1 mm, the missiles are the simplest out of 5 mm increments. Gulled Nairit. Seam saddle in two needles. All seams are manually executed.
Finished stripes with a pocket sew on the sidewall.
We make the second pockets under zipper (I took the meter - just enough to the main valve and pocket). Which lightning was well opened and decided for aesthetics to be fascinated: the lightning sewn to a separate strip, which in turn was sewn into a separate seam to the inner wall of the pocket.
The second side is ready.
Send the main zipper to two sidewalls.
Then there will be the most responsible stage of assembling corners, as the details were practically customized on the spot.
When all the sides are sewn, turn the bag inside out and sew the bottom in which the legs are pre-installed.
Soak back, sew the handles and rejoice in work.
The lining did not do, as the bachtarma is quite smooth. Internal pockets also did not do - this is still a trap bag, not a bowl. The edges did not proceed with nothing, as the skin is soft. Yes, and so looks very good.
It remains only to glue the bottom for strength another layer of skin or plastic, as well as make a belt on the shoulder. But the skin on the belt was not enough, I will buy and make it later, too, with fasteners on the cobby buttons. You still need to find long bilateral holnitenes to fasten the corners - did not calculate the thickness of so many layers.
The bag turned out to be large and roomy, it looks brutal.
Posted by this post for those who wanted to try themselves in the leather craft too and is not solved. As you can see - nothing complicated, you just need to start. All success!
And I have a check of ovages passed, kote approves! At least 7 kg holds the bag))
