Leather bag

Not to be outdone by Sharon, I thought I should post some photos of the gorgeous leather bag I made last week in Adelaide at the Australian Sewing Guild Convention. :)

This class was a 2 day one with Yvonne Twining. She is a great teacher - even managed to stop us all talking at times to get instructions. We were a very eager group! The leather she brought with her was magnificent and it was very hard to choose but I went with my signature red and black (duh) but later discovered that the patent croc leather I chose was actually brown. That's cool....it still works fine. My friends at coffee this morning were incredibly jealous and amazed that I could sew this. I am too.

Here is the inside with the pig-skin suede lining, 2 zip pockets & an iPhone pocket at the end (& my junk).

The back leather is really soft & lovely. Larger sizes had a zipper pocket here but the small one can't fit one on. The kit for this baby was $48 which included all the leather, the bits to make it, feet, zips & all the tutoring we could take. :)
