OMG it's free?! This bag project is the perfect entry point for beginner bag-makers - it's also a great pattern for those already experienced in bagmaking š
The Mini Box Bag comes together super quickly (approx. 1 day) and is completely hand-stitched š
I recommend using a stiff tempered Cowhide Leather 1 - 1.2mm thick for the main bag.
I recommend using a softer Cowhide Leather for the lining 0.05 - 0.08mm thick - I like THIS ONE
Rough Size Required for main body of bag = 30cm x 50cm
Rough Size Required for lining of bag = 30cm x 50cm
Note on materials - If you decide to make this bag using a softer leather, it won't have the same structured look at the end. If you just love the colour though, you can totally use a thin reinforcement likeĀ THISĀ one, on the back to give it more structure.
You will also need:
Hardware:
ā¢ Twist lock fastening
ā¢ Chain for strap - Approx 110cm long
ā¢ Large eyelets for the sides of the bag (optional)
ā¢ Chain ends for securing the chain to the inside of the bag (optional)
Tools & Supplies:
ā¢ Sharp knife or Scissors
ā¢ Pricking Irons inĀ size 3.38mm
ā¢ Mallet - I likeĀ THIS ONE & Punching block
(or use a hammer and cutting mat)
ā¢ 2 x hand stitching needles (I like Prym No.3)
ā¢ 0.45mm thick Waxed Polyester thread
ā¢ Waterbased leather glue and spatula - I likeĀ THIS ONE
(can use solvent-based glue if you prefer)
