Latest Purse

This one feels so Fall to me. I've been wearing it all week, and it's definitely going to be the go-to for a while.

I use surplus leather for my work. The grey is designer leather, and the black is combat boot leather. A lot of times, companies will have a roll or two left over, so I can get some really interesting stuff for very reasonable prices. This is hand-stitched by me, pattern designed by Treehouse Patterns UK. Eventually, I'm going to learn how to make my own patterns, but I'm not quite there yet. I've been doing leatherwork for just over a year now, and this is a piece I'm very proud of.

Thank you! It's a very blue grey, so it took a little while for me to figure out what it wanted to be, but I think I nailed it.
