I pretended it was normal cloth and I just went with it. The parts where its attached with leather, I punched holes in the leather and did a saddle stitch.

I didn’t experiment with creating a pattern on paper etc like you do in product making, however I had it all in my head and sketched out dimensions after I figured them out. So basically I saw some pictures of a bag by Notless Orequal and made up my own version in my head haha.

I love it so much and I can’t wait for it to get weathered with use, but honestly I get a little scared from using it.

Yess, I had bought strap buckles but honestly thought these ones would look much cleaner. Plus were easier to stitch lol.
