I've had some leather samples hanging around for a while - like this one:
so I thought, how about making a bag. The bag will be 12" wide, 9" tall, and 3" deep; lined, with one outer pocket, two inner pockets with zippers, and a flap. Here are my drawings for cuttings for the outside (1/2" seam allowances):
Here are the cuttings: The Flap
The Front:
The Back:
The Sides (I can't decide between gray or black, so I cut both):
And for a punch of color, the underside of the flap and a pocket:
For the lining, I'm using an old dress shirt. Here are the cuttings:
And, finally, notions and accessories: 80" of nylon webbing (I like the seat belt type), thread (I'm going to topstitch with the orange), four small magnets (to keep the flap closed), two rings for the strap, a strap adjuster, and a shoulder thingy.
Part 2 - starting construction - next.
I will look smarht with this on my shoulder. Will my new Ipad fit inside?
