Just finished this Western-Style Fringe Crossbody Bag! Hand-cut fringes and studs. What do you think?

I wanted to share my latest project with the community. It’s a boho/western style leather crossbody purse. The bag body measures 30x25x4 cm (11.8 x 9.8 x 1.6 inches), and I designed the fringes to hang an extra 6 cm (2.4 inches) below the bottom for that extra movement.

Just finished making this vintage-style messenger bag. Tried this one in two different color combinations (olive/brown and navyblue/brown). How do you think it turned out?

I wanted to share my latest project. It’s a vintage-style shoulder bag/satchel. I used roughly 2.0 mm.Dimensions are 25 x 22 x 7 cm.For the stitching, I actually took the extra time to match the thread color to each leather piece, which was a bit tedious but totally worth it for the final look. I also experimented with cross-stitching on certain parts.

Just finished this no-stitch shoulder bag. Easy to make

I made this leather bag without any stitching. I only used a hole punch and Chicago screws (you can also use rivets if you prefer). It’s a very beginner-friendly project and takes about an hour. You can find the full step-by-step making video at the link below. Let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/NjSAotrHHwk

I made this wall clock using leather and brass. What do you think?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my latest project—a handmade leather wall clock. I combined a deep reddish-brown leather base with a darker center piece and used brass rivets to mark the hours. It was a fun challenge to get the stitching and the layout perfectly symmetrical.

If you’re interested in seeing how it was put together, you can find the full build video in the link below! https://youtu.be/p_pFF8Wm7NM
