Once I passed by a BV after eating in a shopping mall. I was fascinated by the small woven squares on the poster. I walked in. On the outermost counter, I held my hands on the polished glass and pressed my face against it. , I was surprised to find skin flakes "peeping out" from the knitting seams. I completely ignored the confused look on the salespersons face, "Miss, what do you need?" and blurted out, "Why is this different from the poster at your door! What kind of workmanship is this..." Before I could finish, I was quickly dragged out of the store by a friend on the side. Door.
——"Are you sick?" I pointed at the huge glowing poster and said, "Its just different. Look, the poster is so delicate, the lines are so smooth, and that side just now was full of scum. ..."
——"If you don't buy it, someone will buy it. Why are you so poor? Besides, you are so awesome, just do it! You can you up, No can no BB"
I like to argue, especially in fields where I still have some good looks... so I got this bag.
Let’s start by weaving the outer skin. I use 1.0 thick Italian vegetable tanned cowhide (it would be better to use 0.8 sheepskin). When cutting the leather, it is 1 or 2 centimeters larger than the drawing size and weaving it at the back. It will work better when the time comes.
Fix the drawing to the dough. The "staple" position on the drawing is the knitting seam
Mark the points to determine the location of the opening, and just use an awl to poke it in.
The result will look like this, be patient and don’t open it to look at it during the process, it will become distorted!
Use a ruler to draw lines and make sure they are consistent with the drawings.
Use this tool to make a hole and hit it with a hammer. Pay attention to the direction and don't tilt it.
The above is only half, and this is the other half. Once you have it all figured out, you are ready to edit.
The strips used for weaving are 8mm for my tool. Similarly, the strips used for weaving are also 8mm.
Putting it in is easy, just put it in, take it out, put it in, take it out...
You can basically understand it by looking at the picture.
The reverse side. Finally, glue the edges together to form one piece.
It’s done! Huh? Why did it come out in a diamond shape... Don’t worry, just pull the four corners...
Cut it according to the drawing. The knife must be sharp, otherwise it will be... ugly
Edge sealing, because one side is braided, some gaps are unavoidable, so try to polish it as much as possible.
Zipper... This is a technical job. You must pay attention to the angle when turning.
I later discovered... there was less left on the zipper edge, there should be 1~1.5mm more
After attaching the zipper and punching the holes, the dough is finished.
Okay, now let’s start with the inner part, which is relatively simple.
Let’s put a detailed picture of each part first, otherwise it will be easy to mess up the rest.
Total includes (from top to bottom): two side accordion pleats, coin pocket, inner card slot and dough cover
The coin bag uses a "curling" process. Of course, you don't have to use it if you find it troublesome.
After folding in half, there will be no open leather edges, so there is no need to seal the edges.
Punch holes
Sewing
This is the effect.
The open edges still need to be sealed, trimmed, and sanded into an arc with sandpaper.
Add edge sealing liquid
The edge sealing is completed, every open edge is sealed like this, including the dough, I didn’t take a photo of that one
The accordion pleats should be punched separately on both sides, and the middle one should be punched separately.
For accordion pleats, align the holes punched three times and take a look.
Sewing card positions
This part inside the card slot must be close to the outer skin
Clamp it up to see if the effect is OK, then you can complete the final big stitch~
Punch holes on both sides separately. I forgot to take pictures of the inner holes, but the holes on both sides need to be aligned one by one.
Finally done!!!
Looking at the results, however...it is not better than BV...
I found out after I finished it... The bag on the poster is made of sheepskin, and the bag I saw is made of cowhide (I also use cowhide), because the fiber thickness of sheepskin and cowhide are different, and cowhide There will be dandruff during the friction of weaving, but there is basically no dandruff in sheepskin, so after I finished it, it was just like the (cowhide) bags I saw and disliked to death...
Let’s talk about the difference between sheepskin and cowhide. Sheepskin feels better and softer, but cowhide is stronger and more suitable for long-term use.
