Making a VINTAGE Swiss Army Bag for a Travel Art Kit

[@equal6200]

Scott Christian Sava also has an art bag very similar, and you both did great! i love how it turned out. (also yours hand made)

[@brookeberyl4019]

Yes he was the inspiration behind trying to find a similar bag! (And not being able to) Hence why I decided to make it! Thank you very much! 😊🙏🏻

[@shifra3203]

​@@brookeberyl4019 Ohh okay😂 I like your determination

[@RetroRewindRyan]

I've been watching Scott's tiktoks for awhile now and thought his bag was so cool, so it's awesome to see someone else inspired to make a bag like his. You also did such an awesome job on the leather working too. I could never make something like this lol. Great video! 👍

[@darklittlepeople]

you did a FANTASTIC job, it's amazing !!! i love it, even the colour turned out great. well done !

[@brookeberyl4019]

Thank you I really appreciate it!

[@dirtiestharry6551]

I'm thinking about doing this because real one is so expensive lol

[@Haider_pookie]

There's just something beautiful about being able to use something built for war and death for colors and beauty

[@brookeberyl4019]

That is absolutely true!

Just started worknmg on one of these now. Took all my measurements from a real bag i own, trying to duplicate...for fun. So made own templates and all that fun stuff. Hoping it turns out well!

[@brookeberyl4019]

That’s very creative! I’m sure it’ll come out great!

[@paulpixphotos]

@@brookeberyl4019 The only concerns i have are the Corner to corner stitching...tight right angles, and then burnishing the backside of the leather, using tokonol and glass burnisher, so should work.

[@edwinthorn1965]

You could wet form the corner for straight angles 😊

@@brookeberyl4019 Finally finished if you were interested to see on my channel.

Hello! So, I'm just a child,and a very matured one in fact,and I'm a huge fan of Scott ( Scott Christian Sava ) and I literally love the bag that he got,so i looked on etsy and found it,but it was 400 DOLLARS. So,i thought to myself. " Alright,thats it, there's no way I'm getting this, there's only one left in stock and its in 20 peoples baskets " Then,i thought. " Hmm,maybe there's a youtube video on how to make it..? No. There's no way. There's no way someone would have the same thought as me. " Then,a day later,i search it up and i found this video as the top result! And now that I'm watching this,i have hope to make this. Two questions though. How much money would it cost to get all of these materials? Could you maybe make a tutorial or explain a bit on how to make this? Thank you. Bye!

[@brookeberyl4019]

Hello! That is funny, we had the exact same idea. I hope you do end up making it! I actually used a pattern I found on Etsy (linked in the bio). I'd say on the safe side around $250-300 to make yourself, including the tools. It is pricey! Mainly because you have to buy a lot of leather and good leather can be expensive. The hand tools themselves are not as bad. My advice would be to definitely invest in a good pair of leather cutting scissors! That will help big time. If you have more questions feel free to DM me on instagram and I will try and answer to the best of my ability. Good luck!

[@RhettGoodman]

It looks amazing! Quick question though, where did you get the templates and the materials? Edit: just read the description and realized that you already put everything there😂

[@brookeberyl4019]

Lol no worries! 😄 thank you!

[@judehunter4804]

Approx how much did the supplies cost in total. Just wondering. I thinking of building one maybe

[@brookeberyl4019]

It’s definitely a bit pricey. I’d say budget around $300. That includes any tools and the leather, dyes etc. Not including any fancy stuff like a sewing machine though because that itself is about 1k. I hope you’re able to try it though! 😃

[@artemis-star52]

How much leather did you use or how many square meters? 10ft seems so incredibly much to me in relation to the patterns

[@brookeberyl4019]

It seems like a lot but that is pretty standard at leather stores, it was basically a shoulder of leather. I did have enough leather for maybe 1-2 more bags which was fine with me because I plan to use it. You can probably request less at your local leather store.

[@braddobson2060]

Terrible unless vidio and the price of the pattern is high for a bag that looks like shit

[@that-mccormick-guy]

actually fairly standard price if she made the pattern herself, and i personally think the bag is neat... must live a sad life to just shit on a small creator instead of just keeping your pointless negativity to yourself
