Day 138 - the satchel!!

It is complete. I encountered a few issues with the inside but in the end I won! The inside has been specifically designed to hold an a4 and a5 pad plus pens pencils and highlighters. If I was to do it again there are a lot of things I would do differently, as leather gets difficult to work with when there are corners and multiple layers. The inside is attached to the main bag with poppers so I can take it for adjustments or easy access.  Ready for student life, I am!

Day 137 - Satchel progress

I posted the plan for this over a week ago, between work and socializing I have managed to get it to a semblance of complete, I just have some tough hand stitching to do before I start on the inside. I have to say, I'm pretty proud of the outcome, it is pretty much what I had in my head, and have coveted for quite some time. Anyway it is by no means finished, but it has certainly progressed since the cut out panels I posted last week. The short sides have zip fastenings so the whole thing opens a bit like a briefcase and the studs are all poppers. More pictures to come one its finished.
