New leather bag prototype

The new bag I’ve started designing is beginning to take shape.  As with most creative processes “It always takes longer than you think”.  This bag is smaller than I was aiming for.  It’s pretty cute though and stands up nicely on its own.  I can’t quite decide on the handles for it yet so it will have to wait awhile till I get my head together.

Prototype bag lining

I do like the lining fabric though so that is a positive.  I will reinforce it with interfacing for the next attempt as it frays a good deal.

Prototype and The Drawing Board!

So it’s back to the drawing board again.  I’ve been sketching out some more ideas and thoughts as you can see.  Will keep you all posted!

New Tiddleyworks Leather Bag Design

| Tiddleyworks

Hazel and I (aka The Leather Ladies) have recently taken delivery of another load of leather offcuts containing a good quantity of pieces large enough to make more bags.

The  sorting and dividing-up-between-us process is hilarious “One for you, one for me.  Aawe! I want that one…etc”.  We can be very childish and extremely silly but so far we haven’t come to blows.  So Hazel has pootled back home to her workroom with her stash and I am looking at the mound of super leather that’s threatening to engulf my workroom.  These colours are calling me at the moment.

New honey and tan offcuts

I’m going to try to design a medium sized bag, about 10 inches by 12 inches.  I’ve started cutting out sections and mulling over lining materials etc.

Let’s see how it turns out!  I’ll be back with more news soon.
