This is my first project that I'm pleased with, that I think actually turned out pretty well. It's simple but I'm happy with it. It's all handstitched. Unfortunately I didn't take a bunch of good pics before I gave it to my aunt.

That’s really nice! What kind of leather did you use? I’ll have to try make handles like that sometime! Did you attach the bottom at the end? That looks really good!
I am super interested in bags right now and always try to figure out construction. So much to learn!
I stitched the bottom piece to the side panels first so all the pieces were attached and laid flat. The last step was stitching the sides up. I really like the handle style. I'd never tried that before this bag. There's a piece of rope running through inside the handle to help keep the shape. The leather is a chromexcel second I got from Maverick.
Very nice. It looks great. I’ll have to try something like that soon.
