When someone goes out of their way for me, I love to go out of my way for them
Recently a friend of mine who lives in a land far, far away came to visit family in town. While she was here, she came to order YET ANOTHER Gathered & Sown bag. (I love repeat customers!!)
She noticed my leather and requested a custom leather bag..... and this is what we came up with!
 |
| She was looking for a new diaper bag. She came armed with specific dimensions and requested a metal zipper. Done and done :) She also needed easy pockets to reach her cell phone on the outside, so I added two super deep pockets on the front. Leather edged, of course, wink! |
 |
| Another example of the goodness of the people I'm surrounded by??? See the zipper pull? My best friends Dad MADE those for me! He laser engraved leather scraps which I now use as zipper pulls on all my bags. A nice gift certificate for his favorite bakery is waiting delivery in my car right now :) |
 |
| The back of the bag is solid leather, with an accent stripe through the middle. I used contrasting red thread to keep it a little sassy and unforgettable.... |
 |
| I love how the metal zippers glide on the leather... thanks Zipit! |
 |
| I used a couple more laser engraved pieces inside the bag. I don't want her to forget who made it, after all :) I kept the edges of this one raw, for a different look. |
 |
| I also trimmed the inside pieces with leather. I like to add this detail to my leather collection. |
She's flying back to Texas with her new addition as I write this... and I'm enjoying the bounty of beautiful leather she brought me :D
Any ideas on what I should do next in leather??? What do you think of the collection so far????
