How to make a large leather bag diy- Tutorial and Pattern Download

[@RavenLunaticLeather]

Almost done making the body of this bag. Made a couple modifications to use a pair of them as saddlebags on my motorcycle. Then tooling the top flap, stain to match, and get 'em on the bike!

[@number1beastielover]

A whole hour?? Are you kidding me? OMG, this bag is gorgeous!!!! I can't wait to watch this!!!!!!

[@phillaboody]

That is an hour edited

[@number1beastielover]

@@phillaboody I know. I was talking about the length of the video.

[@StuffUCanMake]

I just watched a portion of this video. I am still going to make time for the entire lot. I just wanted to say that this bag is way too beautiful!!!

[@sandidbouha3886]

the way it's done, this is meant to last several lifetimes ! good job sir !

[@jamesgilbert124]

I was not sold on the usefulness of a burnishing attachment for a drill/dremel until I watched your videos. Just ordered one.

[@christopherdunn6464]

Watching a piece of leather morph into this bag is mesmerizing. This bag is now a functional piece of art. Well done!

[@Vermontique]

Fantastic tutorial!! For the pockets, what is the reasoning behind cutting a hole in the body of the bag and the side panel and then adding a backing piece on the inside?

This is most beautiful bag that I have ever seen! I can't wait until I have enough skills to do this.

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

Holy Guacamole!!! You are such an individual. And an amazing artist! I’ve seen plenty of bags that were kinda similar but NEVER one like this! There is nothing “cookie cutter” about you that’s for sure. So buying this pattern. It will be my dream bag.

[@luckynmthembu6395]

Tony , This Project is Massive and it is a masterpiece on what I have seen being made. Big up man.

[@waytograce]

Please share also how you stained/dyed the leather to get this look. I love the darker, warn look edges. Beautiful.

[@knobiwan3720]

I am not a leather worker, but I think your work has something of ZEN and some meditative. Thank you for letting us participate.

[@grahamnightingale5984]

Beautiful. A complete joy to watch, be proud of yourself I just watched and got completely hooked. Who would not want one, it’s a piece of art. Thank you.

[@suzyvonrotz2388]

Tony, you really nailed it with this bag...I love it so much...I already have the pattern..Thx for this great pattern. I love how you stitch the pockets on the bag, it has a look like they are coming out of the bag itself. Great!

[@coalachaos6486]

Wow, fantastic! But you make it look so easy! There is a lot of work and even more patience involved in such a pretty bag. Also the reason why such pieces of art cost much more. However, I think this one will last for 20 years, and can then be polished up for some more decades. And then its not really a bad choice... But, I am really interested in making my own - Just to have the hours of creation as an exit from all the daily stress. cheers

[@serjgabyan7202]

Your video made me change my plans for winter, big thumbs up!!!

[@garyspruill1613]

Wow!, Like really Wow! OK folks, I know what Tony has been doing while we were all asleep. OMG, OK, if there was a Golden Glob award for pattern makers? And the winner is::::: Tony See!! (clapping!!!) Great job Tony! Really! I really do like those pockets.

[@dobromirbakal1542]

Finished this bag week ago, pretty amazing

[@omgleatherworks3253]

I would be so tempted to use my big sewing machine but there is no way to get such great looking results as Tony is getting with his hand stitching.

[@omgleatherworks3253]

Awesome method on attaching the side pockets. Just a caution to anyone out there sewing this type of thing - Tony pre-shapes the pocket seam a bit to make it easier to attach and stitch - he is doing it dry. If you wet the leather to help shape it, PLEASE let it dry completely before stitching it - sewing on damp leather is a disaster.

[@mochenmat]

your work area is soooo clean....wish i could be that way hahahah

[@nicholasheideman9572]

Can you guess please remind me to watch this saturday so i can enjoy all of it

[@Lejulestap]

Loved it, one question. Would you recommend glue the pieces before sewing it?

[@michaelmcateermm]

If i wanted to buy a 4 pronged pricking iron, what size would i need for this bag? I know the hole is 1.5mm but what about the distance between the holes? i think it is called the pitch.

[@arnesandness7554]

Outstanding job, Tony! Can't wait to get to this one. Thank you.

[@jerrieyum]

That’s awesome 👏🏾 I like how you designed your pieces and made your stitching holes before you even cut your pattern that’s precision right there homie. I like the music too. Beautiful craftsmanship. 👍🏾

[@MarcoOostendorp]

Is there a specific reason why there are 2 D-rings on each side of the bag and just 1 hook on the schoulder strap? I might change the shoulder strap to have 2 hooks (because it look awesome) but if there is a good reason not to, I would like to know before I mess up some leather.

[@DieselpunkRo]

there is a spare d ring for attaching keys, a water bottle etc

[@ApostolicGrandma]

Im almost done with mine! Hope it turns out 1/2 as perfect as this one :)

[@jamessssssssssssssssssssssssss]

2 questions, why are the inside walls of the pockets separate from the main body, making it a 3 layer attachment. And why are the sides of the body attached in a weaker manner than the pockets to the sides. i ask these things because i believe a key component to anything is durability, so would like to understand the reasoning.

you did an awesome job on hand stitching this bad boy. the only thing i would have done differently is i would have slicked all the edges way more then you did there. but i guess thats just personal preference

[@garyspruill1613]

Tony - Great job. I am going to be making one myself, and from watching the video, I know I am going to be using a 2.0 hole punch around those pockets:-) Three layers of leather at 1.2mm thread. I am gonna knock out some huge holes to drive those needles through :-)

[@bridgetlangford9915]

Is there a reason why the back of side pockets are cut out an not stitched directly on to side panel

[@DieselpunkRo]

its a design choice

[@murrayelgancho]

Tony, I bought this pattern and made the bag. I LOVE it! But my pattern didn't have the shoulder strap. Is there a way I could get it separately?

[@DieselpunkRo]

Yes. Message me on Etsy

[@aaronhall3707]

I would have sewn the handle gather to one of the handles so it doesn't get lost. Beautiful work though.

Did you feather the edges with spray paint?

[@rozsmith8278]

Outstanding bag 💼 well done 👍

[@flintbarnes9291]

I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind. First how much sq ft of leather was used for this project. Second what needed up being the dry weight of the bag. And 3rd what price point would you put this bag at? Excellent work btw.

[@twinfore]

16 to 17 square feet

[@IsaScience]

i wonder if this pattern could work with waxed canvas or something similar? may need more than one layer

As Josh I'm wandering how you treat the edges, is it airbrushing?

[@iceapx]

would assume a stain of sorts

[@ag1639]

Looks like he is using an electric burnisher.

[@likagalimova324]

Crazy Delight! All products are super! What skin do you use and what is the thickness in mm? Thank.

[@PaHoHaska]

Really nice project ... probably my next one :-) Just out of curiosity - in the gussets (side pieces) ... why do you cut out the "windows" (actually back of side pockets) just to replace them with extra (almost identical) pieces of leather (which have to be sewn into the litteraly the same place). If strenghtening of sides is the point, then two layers of leather would make a better job ... just my humble opinion (maybe I missed something)

[@martynnooy5728]

I was wondering this too.

[@diversionmary]

I though about that, and doing what he did lines the whole pocket with suede, perhaps to protect the contents?

[@leatherworker]

I just started last week and now see that the pattern does not have that cut out any more.

[@PaHoHaska]

@@leatherworker Thank you for info. And btw, thank you for your great videos on your own Ytb channel ... I ike them a lot :-)

[@ianstewart-koster9982]

It's diesel-punk - some things are just for looks, or style, and are worth the extra effort.

[@vanessakitty8867]

Sir, your use of that strip of leather designed to fit between the side piece and main bag body ends is genius. I enjoy how that type piece worked on the Leather toiletry bag. I am designing a small tool bag and that method should work wonders. I am buying your plans to make this and your toiletry bag for holiday gifts. TY kindly for your Artistry.

[@chriscullison391]

How heavy is this bag i was thinking about making a diaper bag

[@honorharrington4546]

The flap that ties the handles together needs to be fastened to the back handle so it isn't lost and the laptop pocket on the back needs a flap not a zipper. A flap will help keep water out and the zipper can scratch the laptop.

[@aliciaaustin8373]

Laptop doesn't go in the smaller zipper pocket. I made alterations and just left the whole zipper pocket out and instead made a slightly larger flat pocket inside the bag.

[@HoldFastFilms]

Ugh 360p squad. Will have to come back later but I am so freaking excited. It will take me forever but I want it so bad. Good job on this! Love those boots too.

[@sinansarikaya3662]

may I ask how you treat the leather pieces so that they have that beautfiul finished edge and a more darker finished touch?

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Sinan Sarikaya look up on KZbin “how to burnish leather edges” that will show you how to get the nice edges. As far as darker on the edges a really easy way is once you are done with the dyeing you can apply more dye or even a different color around the edges to make it darker.

[@australianredochreleather1157]

Is the darkened edges done through cutting the pattern in a laser or is that a dye technique?

[@sinansarikaya3662]

Im asking this myself too

[@talexander7217]

I ordered this and cut out all the pieces, watched the video, and realized I am short about two square feet of leather. No matter how I lay out the patterns, it just doesn't fit...bummer. Off to the leather store. I can't wait to put this together.

[@steliosmandalos9352]

where did you get the pattern from ?

[@komakon]

@@talexander7217 About how much in the material was this?

[@talexander7217]

@@komakon it depends on the quality of leather you can afford. I purchased a chrome tan water buffalo side from Tandy. It is a mid grade leather. Being a Gold member I paid $80 just for the leather. It was too thick for the inside panels of the pockets so I used a thinner oil tan for those pieces. Then there's the buckles at $3 a piece. And rivets. Probably just over $100 for materials. You could definitely do it for cheaper or a lot more expensive depending on how good you want it to look or how long you want it to last. I'm almost done with it and can tell this bag will outlast me even with rugged use. It's a great pattern.

Is there a particular reason why the area for the pockets back area was cut out, only to be replaced by a bit larger piece of leather? How do you decide what's a fair price for leather goods?
