✨Introducing “The Celestial Curve” bag by ChrisW Designs. ✨
I am so excited to share with you this beautiful bag in full grain leather! This pattern is written beautifully and easy to follow, for an Intermediate skill level. It features an interior slip pocket, as well as a zipper pocket. The finished size is:
11”W x 5 ½”H x 3 ½”D.
This make was sewn on my industrial Juki 1541 for the leather, and the Juki TL18 for the cotton lining. For you that sew with leather, I was able to follow the pattern as written with only modifying the stabilizers.
I skived the edges of this 2oz. leather to reduce bulk, and used 1/16” closed cell sponge neoprene as a stabilizer for the exterior panels. For the gusset panels I used the 1/8” thickness. I also chose to use a ‘bag stiffener’ for the bottom stabilizer instead of Decovil heavy.
I love how it turned out! Don't you just love those strap cuffs?!
