Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My leather bag made out of an old coat is finished after a long time. Honestly, I´m not sure I like it! It´s kind of brutal and rough… which sometimes isn´t a bad thing, but I´m not sure about this case :). I´m a bit dissapointed, but at the same time I´m proud of it. It´s huge, sturdy, with many pockets (one of them big zippered inside). The adjustable strap was salvaged from a different (damaged) bag. Sewing this bag was quite nerve wrecking, as my poor sewing machine had trouble getting through the thick leather.

Well, so I took some time to make the bag a bit smaller – not so long (deep). And it´s much much better now!

Thank you all! I´m not sure if I want to make the bag a bit smaller… but I´m very lazy, so it will maybe stay the same :).
