leather weekend bag

[topknot]

Hi,

A couple of months ago when out with the wife shopping i was having looking at overnight/weekend bags and the prices maybe one day i'll get one.
I had to get some more leather from the whole seller , when in there i had a look in the scrap / off cut bin and found a big bit of brown split leather that was it bag on the way.

The bag is all hand stitched with tiger thread, solid brass dee's, the 10mm zip came from my good lady friend who repairs tents / awning









Thank you for looking
All comments welcome
Cheers

Thanks guy's for the good feed back on the bag, yes i'm pleased with it and the color. As with all my leather work i do not count the hours its like a hour here a bit there and it goes on like that till i finish the project.

Only six rivets at the mo , but i got to find some rubber to go on the bottom which i'll rivet on.
I have also made a yellow nylon liner to go inside which i'll put in later as the bag will be used this weekend also a ID tag

Sore fingers?

I have learned over the years not to get to that point and just put it down for the night mate
