Description

I cut an old leather jacket and already made 3 bags from pieces (used only sleeves so far) so I quess it will be more. The buttons are also from the original jacket. Seeing what I m doing some friends generously offered me some of theirs leather jackets that they don t wear any more:) so there will be work and fun. I used ordinary sewing machine, just put needle for upholstery. The flower is from my drawing that I used for henna design, the same flower was on a girl’ s shoulder:) The pattern is also my own I ll upload it as soon as I learn how to do that. I would appreciate any advice.
The street is St. Petersbourg’ s in my neigbourhood, so many beautiful old fences out there. The bag has lininig and magnetic snap.

    Looks lovely. I particularly like the flower – and it’s a really nice photo too
