Leather bag

Description

My fiancé's sister asked me to make her a bag after she saw the bag I made for myself ([link])

I was quite free with the design, since she only said that she'd like a similar one. I know that she likes celtic patterns, so I decided to decorate the bag with them.

The bag is made of yellow colored pig leather. The white pieces are from the same leather; it is the backside.

I found the fabric I used to the lining after I began the sewing and I fell in love with this golden-orange colour.

The thread is the same as in my bag. It's originally meant for crocheting, but it's also strong enough to sew the leather.

The button is made of ash wood.
My fiancé helped me to cut the rough shape (I don't really like to use those dangerous looking machines :) ).
I carved a roughly oval shape with a knife. The rest was made with a dremmel-like tool. After this I sanded the button and my fiancé made the holes.

The button is "sewn" to it's place with leather strings.

The bag has four pockets on the inside - two bigger and two smaller ones.

The whole bag was sewn by hand. I had quite a lot of work with it though it was easier than the first one - I didn't have to find out how to do it and I changed some things to make the process easier.

The proportions are about the same as the first bag; about 32x32x8cm.
