Hi James, I'm not sure what style of gussets you are doing or how you are bending them. if you can add some pics that would be great. p

On a related point. It's quite funny to know that the Birken bag was inspired by a feedbag for horses, the irony of which we should not delve too far lest we begin to scrutinize the ethical and spiritual implications of the pursuit of status symbols. We don't want to bite the hand that feeds.

I understand Peter .... I was also asking you to compare me. For example, I also adjust according to how much I want the side to fall back, or whether I want a side that exactly keeps its shape. thank you very much for your confirmation. you are always exhaustive. thanks . ps: I saw your latest video, I loved it. I watched you on TV on a giant screen. 😊 E

Awesome!! I will get ahold of Nippy and get a rubber feed ball on the way. Thank you for everything you do! :) can't wait for the bag tutorial too!

Alright thanks!

@Shannon Monique Perkins You are welcome.

- Construction of pockets; interior & outside pockets - Different types of handles - Pattern making; where to think off & do you all draw the places of the pricking irons on your plans? I'm used of sewing by machine, but I want to learn the saddle stitching as well

Apologies. I was looking only at still photos of the Hackney Briefcase and saw painted edges on all gusset seams. That gusset style is awesome with the corner darts. My understanding of an accordion gusset was a one-piece gusset that attaches to the front, middle, and rear panels with exposed edges for painting only on the front and rear panels, the sides of the middle panel(s) wrapped by gusset leather. Such a tutorial could include just a reduced-size version, similar to what you do in your gusset tutorial, and wouldn't require full bag construction.

1. Box Bag 2. Doctors Bag 3. Watch Strap 4. A bag with an Accordion Gusset Just my wishlist 🤣

Try talcum or baby powder to absorb it.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your reply! Okay great, good to know! Would the technique used in the second picture be the correct way to attach the pouch?
