So besides many other things going on this weekend I found some time to start another project I was planning on for some time now: a handbag for myself. One that carries my signature and says "me". One that is an original design and one that is unique. So last week I started by drawing the pattern during my lunch break.
Ich habe die Klappe und die Seitenteile noch verändert, um eine Verzierung anzubringen (es wird nun die aus Messing) und Sachen am Rausfallen aus der Tasche zu hindern.
I changed the lid design to include a medaillon (I'll go with the brass one now) and modified the side panels from straight to graduated. It makes the bag narrower at the top and avoids things from falling out.
Alle Teile sind ausgeschnitten. Allerdings noch ohne Kantenbearbeitung und Nahtmarkierungen. Und sorry für die schlechten Bilder, aber sie wurden fast alle zu nachtschlafender Zeit gemacht.
So here are all pieces cut out. The edges are not bevelled and no seams marked so far. Sorry for the bad pics, but they were almost all taken during night time with bad lighting.
Eins der Seitenteile mit geschärften Kanten und versenkter und markierter Naht.
So here's one of the side panels, with bevelled edges and marked seam.
Ein Seitenteil dran.
One side panel attached.
Fertig mit Nähen
Sewing finished.
Den Schulterriemen geschnitten und die Beschläge zusammengesucht. Die Beschläge sind übrigens von einer meiner alten Taschen. Manchmal lohnt sich das Aufheben von alten Sachen. Dann muss man nix neues bestellen. Fortsetzung folgt....
Shoulder strap cut and metal parts gathered. The metal parts are from an old bag of mine. So no need to buy new ones. To be continued....
Ohhh this is so cool. I am also in the process of making a leather handbag for myself. I got my pieces cut out yesterday.
AntwortenLöschenI will have to put mine aside until next week.
