It is recommended that after receiving our drawings, you first look at the entire drawing to understand the entire structure and determine which details require special attention. This will also be of great help to our subsequent production ~ Unlock the words on our drawings: style ----- the style name of this drawing Position ----- the position of this drawing Function ----- comparison, Refer to the blanking grid ----- it will be a few millimeters larger than the correct grid. If the edge is cut smaller, the bending is shorter, etc., the material can be adjusted ----- the amount of leather or accessories and the thickness of the leather --- --Recommended leather thickness, number of sheets for reference-----The current drawing/total number of drawings in the entire set. 1. Drawing explanation and material preparation 1.1 This Mercury messenger bag drawing is divided into these modules: shoulder strap connecting piece, shoulder strap fixing piece, cover hollow piece, piping strip, buckle strip, bag bottom, cover edge strip, Bag pocket edge strips, bagging, bag body, bag cover, hidden bag. 1.2 There are two types of Mercury messenger bags: the large-sized Mercury35 and the small-sized Mercury28. The difference between the two models is the size, but the relevant parts of the drawings, the corresponding names, the use of leather and the processing technology are the same. This graphic sharing is based on Mercury35 as an example. The medium-gloss plain calfskin parts are the bag cover and bag body, and the other parts of the leather are all primary-color vegetable tanned first-layer cowhide. 2. Component processing: shoulder strap fixing piece, shoulder strap connecting piece, bag cover hollow piece 2.1 We first take out the primary color vegetable tanned first-layer cowhide corresponding to the 18th drawing and the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th drawings. Everyone should pay attention here. Cut according to the quantity and arrangement shown in the 18th picture, so as to facilitate the reasonable arrangement of limited space. Before cutting, we first transfer the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th drawings to the leather surface. After the 7 small pieces of leather are accurately cut, the 8th cut buckle strip is kicked out of the team first, because it has subsequent steps to process separately. For the remaining 6 pieces, transfer, cut, and cut holes according to the marks, and use the corresponding round punch to punch holes.
2.2 According to the common practice of vegetable tanned leather edge sealing, wet water presses out the decorative lines, and the small pieces corresponding to the 7th, 9th, and 10th drawings are processed first.
2.3 Next is the "edge dyeing" step that novices need to build a solid foundation.

3. Component processing: piping strip, hidden bag outer skin and inner skin 3.1 We take out The 17th drawing and the corresponding primary-color vegetable-tanned cowhide are precisely cut out with reference to the 4th, 5th, and 6th drawings. The remaining leather is used to make the bottom leather for the buckle strips. We pack them up. First Put it aside. When fine-cutting the "piping strip" of the sixth drawing, don't forget to cut out two waist lines (the drawing has been updated to add two round punching holes, remember to punch them). Then transfer the cut according to the drawing. hole.

3.2 As shown in the picture, first use a pitch gauge to draw a 5mm spacing line, and then thin the edges. Many friends have asked us where we bought this compass with such a high appearance rate. ? Let me say again here, it is from Staedtler, you can add a pen, it is very easy to use! According to the previously transferred chopping method, it is recommended to use a round chopping method to make holes. The editor reminds you of one thing that needs attention: piping There is no need to hit the three vertices of the strip. Use the same steps to process the second piping strip.
3.3 We first take the finely cut leather corresponding to the fifth drawing and draw a 10mm spacing line on the top for thinning the edges. This operation also facilitates the folding operation. After marking the folding line, apply glue to the folding position.
The next step is the folding operation~
After the folding is completed, we transfer and cut the holes according to the 5th drawing. Similarly, we process the leather corresponding to the 4th drawing together. But this piece There is no need to fold the edges.
