Tutorial on making your own leather handbag. You only need a special sewing machine for sewing leather or an ordinary sewing machine plus a special leather knife and needle to start making this practical and fashionable bag.
Choose pigskin or artificial leather for making handbags (cowhide is expensive and hard, so if it is your first time making a leather bag, it is best to choose a simple one). The cutting method is the same as that of cloth. For specific DIY production methods, please See the detailed illustrated tutorial below.
Production steps:
1. Use a sewing machine, polyester sewing thread, diamond chopper, hand sewing thread, leather or artificial leather.
Cut leather to size:
1. Sew the two pieces of leather marked 'A' together, leaving about a 1.5cm seam;
2. Press down the seam with your fingers;
3. Strike from the center. Repeat the previous production for the other two "A" pieces;
4. Now sew the spliced ??"A" and "C" together, leaving about 1cm of seam;
5. After sewing, sew the other piece of "C" face up and sew it to the bottom to reinforce the bottom of the bag;
6. Finally, sew the 2 quick B pieces together with A and C.
The main part of the bag has been made, now let’s make the handles of the tote bag.
1. Fold D into three layers and press them tightly with your fingers;
2. Suture from the middle;
3. Mark the main body of the bag, 6.5cm on each side of the middle line of side A;
4. Follow the marks and suture;
5. Basically completed;
6. You can do some beautification, such as adding some rivets or something!
The finished leather handbag looks quite fashionable and beautiful. If you like it, make one yourself!
