Day 133 - Deconstructing a suitcase, soon to be a satchel

I haven't made anything yet for this, but I thought I'd share my plan and where I am so far. I deconstructed a tatty old suitcase that has just been taking up room for years. After a little play with the panels I decided to go for a classic satchel look, now I have to see if this leather will go through my machine of if I'm going to have to go all cave-man stylee on this and use an awl and a sewing needle.
