We sew from genuine leather

Step 1

From a leather plate, cut out a part of a bag measuring 28 x 56 cm.

Step 2

From flizofiksa cut out 2 pieces of size 3 x 4 cm, iron to the skin and cut off the excess.

Step 3

Remove the paper base from the flizofix and cut out two more pieces of leather 3 x 4 cm in size.

Step 4

Duplicate the flizofiks pieces of leather on both ends of the zipper. Non-duplicated pieces of leather should be ironed to duplicated ones on the reverse side.

Step 5

At both ends, cut off pieces of leather along the contour to the edge, thus edging the ends of the zipper.

Step 6

Using clothespins, fasten the zipper to one narrow (28 cm long) section of the bag detail.

Step 7

Stitch the zipper along the outer edge from the front. Stitch another zipper tape in the same way.

Step 8

Cut a strip of approx.1 x 40 cm, iron to the skin and cut off excess.

Step 9

A strip duplicated by dekovil is applied to a piece of leather with the wrong side to the wrong side and stitch along the contour to the edge.

Step 10

Cut the protruding skin.

Step 11

From the resulting strip, cut two parts 5.5 cm long and fold in half. The ends are connected with clothespins. The rest of the strip (29 cm long) will serve as a loop handle (see step 16).

Step 12

Turn the part of the bag to the wrong side and fasten the side sections with clothespins. Attach loops between the side sections on both sides at a distance of 8 cm from the top of the bag.

Start side cuts at a distance of 1 cm, previously opening the zipper for turning out.

Step 14

Cut a flap measuring 20 x 11 cm from the skin. Draw a line from the wrong side along a long cut at a distance of 1.5 cm. On the flap, make incisions to the drawn line with an interval of 1 cm.

Step 15

Apply glue to a strip 1.5 cm wide and twist it evenly.

Step 16

Glue the resulting brush and loop handle (see step 11) into the tips. Connect the brush and the loop handle to the hinges using the connecting rings and the carabiner.
