I have not posted an entry lately, but that does not mean that I have not been busy. Over the past two months I have had a lot going on in my life, however, with the little time I have had I have worked on a leather school bag for my daughter Jessie.
The bag is made completely of leather including the strap. I order to metal hardware from a number of different places and I used many different styles as inspiration. It took a while to final complete, however, the final result is something that I am very pleased with (and Jessie likes it too).
Well, here it is:

| This picture shows the plain back of the bag. I left the back plain to show that the back and the flap are all one piece. |

Let me know what you think! Just incase anyone was thinking, "I would love one of those bags." My wife and mother-in-law have already put in orders, which should keep me busy until Xmas. ;)
Thanks for looking.
