Seriously looks excellent for first effort and without the heavy duty sewing machine Smama!!
! I think I either need a leather machine or learn how to hand sew leather, or both, first!

Thank you! What a joyful thing to say!
You are sweet. Thank you!
Working with leather is kinda tricky cuz I can't re-do the stitches. What I sew is what I get!
What a stunning bag! Amazing color. I have seriously been drawn to yellow lately, I have no idea why. I guess you're right, it's a perfect color to brighten the day!Today’s bag that is coming out for a cleaning is my Balenciaga Mangue work. Such a sunny color and just what I need to brighten this rainy afternoon
I hope everyone is hanging in there during this difficult time

The couple of times I’ve gone out over the past 2 weeks, I still had to change my bag each time but forgot to post here.
Reissue 226
LV Twist MM
Lady Dior
Also missed taking a photo of the City Steamer before putting her away.

Your bag turned out beautifully! ❤️ It’s so fun to use something you’ve made. Did you use a Teflon foot on a regular machine?My first ever leatherwork handbag. I copied my PVC mini Le Pliage. It was so hard to sew this leather bag with a regular sewing machine, but it was fun and worth it.
It is missing a front flap button, but I may just leave it as is for ease of use.
I included my glasses for size reference.
Thanks for sharing three of your gorgeous bags. As soon as I saw that Chevron Reissue, I thought to myself “What a Beauty! Looks like Venessa’s
”.
I didn't think about that! You really are very talented! I'll repeat myself, those stitches are perfect!You are sweet. Thank you!

Lockdown Day: I stopped counting! (Started appropriately Friday the 13th. I've only been out once to switch Shelter in Place locations.) Carly, my "emotional support bag" 
is keeping me company. But we have to discuss sharing the TV. All she wants to watch are "What's in My Coach Bag" videos.
Be safe if you must go out!

Social distancing is keeping me at home but, I “escaped” to go to the drugstore via drive thru for prescriptions. My YSL Lou Camera bag made the trek with me. 
Really love that bag! I have to go to the drugstore on Thursday, sign of the times when you're excited about picking out a bag for the trip

I just noticed your Carly got the tv remote firmly in her grip — you weren’t kidding about her hogging the tv
