Handmade rugby bag (rugby-shaped chest bag)

There was a severe epidemic in the early spring of Gengzi. In response to national policies, we were quarantined at home. I had a rare free time to finish all the orders, so I saw this rugby bag on Instagram. So I decided to draw and make it myself. I tried it out once and changed the details twice before finally finalizing it. The following is a brief description of the production process. The basics will not be explained, but the key points will be highlighted, such as how to handle the two ends of the bag before turning it over, how to make it more stylish after turning it over, and how to leave no stitches after turning it over. When exposed, detailed answers will be given. As for why the zipper opening of the version is not chopped, and there is no clear instruction on the width of the hanging ears, these are all left to the craftsmen to use their experience. I will give reference dimensions below. 1. The relevant tools are certainly not complete, and additions are welcome. Elvis radio is a must! Recommended leather mbox soft vegetable tanning, thickness 2.2-2.5mm, or original color vegetable tanning, 1.5-1.8mm, there is also a soft vegetable tanning CPA similar to mbox

2. You can use 1.0mm round punch for blanking, or you can use round cut logo plate. Using the olive shape that comes with the pattern, you can also make a 40mm*50mm brand

3. When processing the zipper, I use the talon zipper imported from copper teeth. By the way, I recommend a useful tool, Tajima top cutting pliers.

4. Sew The thread grains are opposite to each other and can be non-sticky! Avoid exposing the glue after turning the package. It is recommended to use polyester pull cord or flat wax cord.

5. The handling of the hanging ears at both ends (I’m knocking on the blackboard, here is the key point). Many friends who have purchased the version have raised this issue.Because the original version is made of stitched wires, the wires on the hanging ears will inevitably be exposed after turning the package over. Therefore, adjustments were made after the trial version. Four cut holes were removed from both ends. Friends who received the version will see that there are no cut holes at the ends. , let me teach you how I did it. Make an extension line intersection along the cut hole, and draw a circle with a radius of 4mm. The intersection point of the circle and the extension line is the place that will be used later. Use an awl to mark it. (If you insist on using suture link ear hooks, please ignore the fifth item)

Here we use wheel nails to connect the hanging ears, which are the kind used for belts. Please don’t forget to put anaerobic glue in the threads. The width of the hanging ears is 25mm. After turning the bag The amount of hanging ear protrusion can be adjusted by itself. The picture below is the state after I finished it.

After turning over the bag It looks like the picture below

You can also use copper bumping nails to fix it.

The picture below is After opening the bag, no threads can be seen at all. As a reminder, when installing the mounting ears, do not install them upside down. After turning the bag, the mounting ears are on the outside, so when installing, the mounting ears are on the inside.

6. Translate (I typed on the blackboard again, the key point is here again) There is a very critical step before turning the bag, which is to tear the edges. If this step is not done, there will be things inside after turning the bag.The pleats are the same as the skirt and directly affect the shape of the bag. Here is how to do it. Choose a round punch with a diameter of 5mm, and punch out semicircles directly along the edge. The intervals between the semicircles are 5cm (reference value). Be careful not to break the line. It is actually recommended that the semicircles be slightly denser at both ends, and the interval is 2cm (reference value)

The picture below is the result of the operation< p style="text-align: center;">

The next step is to translate Once the bag is in operation, turn it over and you will find that there are no wrinkles. All the places where the wrinkles should have appeared were absorbed by the gap just now. Do you still remember the following chest bag, which was popular in 2019? In fact, it also needs to be operated in this way. The one on the workbench is a large size, and the one on the beauty’s back is a small size.

7. Plastic surgery requires a handful Pliers, sponge and water. First, dip a sponge in water, reach inside the bag and wet the area that needs to be bent. Dip the water in small amounts and divide it several times. This takes advantage of the plasticity of vegetable-tanned cowhide when wet. Hold the inner edge with one hand and push it outward, and use the flat-nose pliers with the other hand. Just control the strength yourself, just don't squeeze out the oil in the leather. As shown below.

8. Go Lets make the shoulder straps and let the leather we just wet dry. Version price RMB28, no free shipping, default is SF collect!
