Togo piglet making process

The first time I paid attention to piggy bags was when I saw the round goddess back, but since I prefer square bag shapes, I wasn’t too interested, so I started making them by hand There is a piggy style trend in leather bags. It seems that everyone is doing it. I feel that if I don’t make a piggy bag, I feel embarrassed to say that I am a handicraft Leather goods, I also really want to know why this little pig has such great magic power, so I also plan to try making a little pig bag, and then The first bag I made in 2017 was a medium-sized fat pig with a red togo.

Go home for the New Year It is very suitable for carrying on the back. It is also very easy to match with clothes in daily life. The capacity is just right. You can usually bring a short clip, mobile phone, key bag, tissues, powder, lipstick, hand cream. In summer, you can also add a pair of sunglasses. The inner pocket can be used Decorate important documents and receipts, now it has been half a year and it is still my favorite O(∩_∩)O~

I have made two more recently. I have made some improvements on the previous methods. I will record them. 1. Cutting & trimming

After the drawing is ready, the first step is to cut the material, but you still need to check the leather before the first step. I like meaty piglets, and the Togo leather is about 2.0mm thick, so I’m optimistic about it. Fiber direction, pay attentionDefects (but leather is a natural animal product, growth marks, scars, and traces of mosquito bites are inevitable (in fact, I think it is quite difficult to find defects other than growth marks on chrome-tanned leather). Think about what we girls have been exposed to since childhood. After spending so much time and money on your own skin every day, it’s not perfect.) First cut the outer skin according to the drawing.

This time I want to Make some slight bulging, and use 801 to cut 6mm edges on the front and back of the bag body and the bag cover. After thinning, the thickness is about 1.3. Use 801 to cut the sides of the side strips to 10mm wide and 1.0mm thick. 2. Align the endothelium

In the first step, the outer skin is attached to the flesh side of the inner skin. The inner skin is made of sheepskin. I prefer to just make the whole sheep and see if the skin side is good, then stick it to the flesh side, and then cut it directly against the outer skin edge, and get it done in one step. . You can also pre-size the inner skin and roughly cut it, attach it to the outer skin, and then finely cut it, the effect will be the same. 3. Press and cut the decorative line

When I made the first red pig, I didn’t press the decorative line, but because Togo used spacing to plan the lines, I couldn’t see it at all, so I just pressed a decorative line as the baseline for cutting. The perm was FN3.

with decorative lines Cut it as a benchmark. Since the piglet has many curved edges, sewThe two joined pieces need to be cut separately, so the number of cut holes in the two stitched pieces must be the same. I would rather cut it out several times than be lazy, otherwise the result will be a waste of more time in taking it apart and sewing it up again. Although I I've never done anything stupid like this.

I counted the drawings first Above, the cutting holes are the same. Mark the serial numbers on the drawing. With the center point as 0, mark the serial numbers on both sides. Place the drawing on the leather and align it at the serial numbers 0/10/20/30... and the end point. Use an awl to mark, and then use a chopper to punch holes. After punching, count twice. I used correction paper to mark the gaps of ten. You can stick correction paper after marking with the awl, or you can punch all the holes. Post them when you are counting, so that the comparison is clear at a glance and it is difficult to count incorrectly. The edges that need to be sewn with false seams can be cut easily, as long as the two sides are symmetrical. 4. Inner bag production

This time I originally wanted to use a piece of leather to fold and sew the two sides of the inner bag, but someone didn’t fold it when attaching the lining for me. If I lay it flat and then fold it, it would be very uneven, so for the sake of obsessive-compulsive disorder Once it was flat, I cut it into two pieces and then sewed an extra side.

Inner pocket front Fold the upper edge of the piece

Press the decorative thread and cut and sew the false thread.

Thin 1 same strip Attach the leather to the upper edge of the back piece of the inner bag, draw lines and sew false seams.

The upper edge of the inner bag is chopped , no sewing

Inner pocket front Align the left, right and bottom sides of the piece and back piece, paste and press the decorative line, cut the stitching line and apply edge oil. 5. Apply edge oil & drill hardware holes

Applying edge oil is the least interesting thing to write about, but it also takes up the most time. Just apply it and wait for it to dry. When it is dry, use an edge ironing machine to iron it. After ironing, polish it with sandpaper. After polishing, sweep away the dust. Apply and repeat 3-4 times. When you are satisfied with the last thin application and it is dry, complete this step.

The edge oil requires some patience. I like to apply it every night before finishing work. Even in the cold and wet winter, it dries properly the next morning. The bag is not under tight construction schedule. After three or four days, the edge oil will be done haha.

For the holes of the hardware, refer to the drawing, and then compare and measure the hardware before drilling! Be sure to compare and measure the hardware 6. Sew the cover and false thread

False seams must be sewn separately at both ends of the side panels and the front panel of the main body. .

Cover Fixing it with the back piece of the main body with a globe pin and a brooch plug can also prevent your hands from getting stuck

(Haha, the golden tortoise was popular last year. I thought it was too expensive and I used it a lot, so I thought of adding a globe needle and a brooch plug. The advantage is that the price is good. Buy a box of globe needles. 50 brooches plus postage are less expensive than two beetles.)

The bag cover and the back side of the bag are sewn in advance. The cover needs to be sewn with false stitches. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. I must backstitch symmetrically. This place is a circle plus a horizontal line. I chose to sew in two sections, starting at the connection between the cover and the body.

The end is in the middle of the bag cover just covered by the bag lock. I think this is both beautiful and strong.

Look at the picture for where to start the needle. 7. Decorative strip production

First cut a strip of pre-large leather, 801 thin it to 1.3mm Thick, precisely cut according to the drawings.

Bevel the two ends at the same distance, with one end peeling the skin surface and the other end peeling the flesh surface.

Glue the two ends together.

Make the connection point in the middle, leave gaps on both sides for the screw rods, glue all the strips in the middle, add a total of three stitches at both ends and in the middle, and then paint Edge oil.

The oil on the edge in this picture is how it looks after I don’t know how many times it has been ironed. It is still greasy, not what it looks like when the work is finished. 8. Install package lock

Install the hardware on the front of the bag. Apply a little glue to the screws and then screw them in. The hardware on the lid may not be stitched during sewing. If it is in the way, and to avoid scratches on the surface, you can install it last. 9. Suture

First sew the inner bag to the back piece of the bag. The cut holes are all made in advance, just line up the upper holes and sew.

Then wrap the back and side panels and sew them, and cut holes in the front I counted it many times and found that the number of holes was the same. Sister, I boldly sewed it forward.

Finally, sew the front panel combination. This is a bit difficult to sew. The inside of the bag is dark and invisible, the space is small, and my hands are big. Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about the number of holes being right. Sister, I still boldly sew forward. I really like this feeling of being fully prepared in advance and just rushing forward without worrying about anything! 10. Install hardware & finalize

< /p> Install the hardware on the bag cover, and be sure to dip the screws in glue.

should be folded inward , clamp two clips that are not too tight and set it overnight.

Tie the chain Just finish the job

Finished product picture, I don’t know how to describe this color, but it is as beautiful as the red one~
