Bored from shopping - I made a bag on my own ;)

How it was made?
I got a set with all tools, glue, lining material, coating for the edges, etc.
The leather had the sewing holes and was pre-cut, but all other steps were hand made.
I learned the classic saddle stitching and how to work on the edges so I can repair small things on my other bags

...somehow everything comes together and it looks like a real bag
It took me some time and I gained some muscles in my fingers (and I need a manicure now^^)...and it was a lot of fun!
But if one likes crafting projects, it is not difficult

That is fantastic! It looks amazing and you made it yourself 😍
Would you be willing to share the name of the company you bought this kit from?
Does the leather feel nice? Is it a heavy bag? Is there a lining?
Sorry for all my questions, I'm seriously impressed

The leather is great The bag is not heavy, but it is premium leather, so it has its weight.
Here you can see the lining I chose. There is also an inside bag which fits huge mobiles.
You can customize it, so much options.
You can get it from Bagsandpieces.co. They have so much other stuff.
My next one will be the business bag, but wow, that is some work.
If one is not sure, they even have some cases for glasses. Easy making, or for practice.

And I appreciate the added pictures
Did you have any prior leather work experience? It looks so professional
Impressive, it looks very nice and I really love the color 🥰. The strap offers a nice contrast.
Well done and thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading this

Go for it! The tutorials and instructions are very well-made and thoughful.
They created every step so you are challenged and you get your feeling of success. Which leads to fun
What you learn are real technics from leather craft.
And this is useful.
Here, I fixed my worn off Metis handle:

It’s beautiful! You did a fantastic job! I really love the color you picked and the leather looks high quality. How long did it take you to make?
I’m going to check out that site. Maybe I’ll try my hand on a glasses case.
Looking forward to seeing your next project!

I think about 10 or 12 hours, but there is also a lot of time for things to dry. I did not hurry, I went for relaxing my busy brain
