A new bag design and how can I be of support to this great community during this time of crisis?

in #creativity5 years ago (edited)

Good afternoon steemits, how have you all been. I know a lot has been going on these past few days and as a new member, i dont really know how or what i can do to be of help. I will be glad if i can receive advice on how to be of good impact because this place has been of great impact to me too since i joined. I really wish things come out well eventually.

Also I bring to you a new bag design i just made. Its a portable, classy bag. I call it Sylvia. As soon as i finished making the bag and my mum came inside my workshop, she told me she's buying it. I guess I'll be making more of it. Below is a picture of the bag.

MATERIALS USED

  • Leather of choice
  • Designer hook
  • Eyelet

PROCESS

  • The measurements I used are 9 by 11.5 inches in three places but one has a different design as seen below.

  • Additional measurements are 3 by 28 inches and 1 by 45 inches.

  • The first thing I did was to stitch the longer rope as seen below.

  • I stitch the curvy side to one of the main bag 2 inches below as seen below.

  • For the curvy edge, i had to change the design because when i tried to stitch it, the machine was giving me a rough stitch so i change the design. (I'll be explaining that later)

  • I stitch the 3 by 28 inches side with the other main bag side as seen below.

  • After stitching the sides i noticed the side is in excess so i had to cut out the excess.

  • I made a small hole for eyelet using 2 by 1.5 inches.
