Good afternoon steemits, how have you all been. I know a lot has been going on these past few days and as a new member, i dont really know how or what i can do to be of help. I will be glad if i can receive advice on how to be of good impact because this place has been of great impact to me too since i joined. I really wish things come out well eventually.
Also I bring to you a new bag design i just made. Its a portable, classy bag. I call it Sylvia. As soon as i finished making the bag and my mum came inside my workshop, she told me she's buying it. I guess I'll be making more of it. Below is a picture of the bag.
MATERIALS USED
- Leather of choice
- Designer hook
- Eyelet
PROCESS
- The measurements I used are 9 by 11.5 inches in three places but one has a different design as seen below.
- Additional measurements are 3 by 28 inches and 1 by 45 inches.
- The first thing I did was to stitch the longer rope as seen below.
- I stitch the curvy side to one of the main bag 2 inches below as seen below.
- For the curvy edge, i had to change the design because when i tried to stitch it, the machine was giving me a rough stitch so i change the design. (I'll be explaining that later)
- I stitch the 3 by 28 inches side with the other main bag side as seen below.
- After stitching the sides i noticed the side is in excess so i had to cut out the excess.
- I made a small hole for eyelet using 2 by 1.5 inches.
- Then i fix the eyelet as seen below.
- Then I used hammer to fix them together.
- I stitch the two main bag sides together as seen below.
- Here i change the covering design and i fix the design hook as seen below.
- Then i used the hook ive fixed to fix the other.
- I put the longer rope inside the eyelet hole and stitch it together.
FINAL LOOK
Thanks for viewing my blog and have a wonderful day!!!
