I have sewn a few leather items over the years - a skirt I loved and gloves. And I have handsew various hard and stiff items in just the way you describe. Not much fun. How honest of you to share the photos, which as you say will certainly just fine to any reasonable observer. I also like the way you planned the bag to accommodate the things you need to carry - I just have a huge ruck sac in which everything is lost and in a jumble.

The leather I bought is seconds, which are fine to use for a bag that will get hard use and marks here and there fairly quickly.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-73973758091860143912014-09-08T06:40:42.686+10:002014-09-08T06:40:42.686+10:00Good save!

Where do you buy kangaroo leather ?
