Welcome back! Today, we’re diving into an exciting project: creating two fabulous handbags. One is a stylish messenger bag, and the other is a sophisticated purse. Although they look different, they share a similar construction process, making it easy to follow along.
Get Ready: Start by printing out our pattern at 100% scale. Double-check the measurements to ensure accuracy. We’ll be using high-quality leather, about 1.5 to 1.8 millimetres thick, with a cool graffiti finish that gives it a unique look.
Let’s Get Crafty: Both bags have three pockets—a small one for your phone and two larger ones for other essentials. We’ll show you how to cut the leather, mark the pockets, and stitch everything together. One bag will be hand-stitched, and the other will be machine-stitched, so you can choose the method you prefer.
Step-by-Step Fun: Cutting and assembling the bags is straightforward. The trickiest part is the middle section, but don’t worry—we’ll guide you through it. You’ll learn how to punch holes and align everything perfectly.
Finishing Touches: Once the bags are assembled, we’ll add the finishing touches, like strap attachments and decorative accents. We also have tips for using scrap leather creatively to reduce waste and be eco-friendly.
Enjoy the Process: This project is not only fun but also rewarding. Whether you’re making a stylish messenger bag or an elegant purse, you’ll end up with a unique accessory that showcases your craftsmanship.
