Both ways are completely acceptable. that is all a matter of your preference and design idea

Hi Véronique, Don't cry! You'll get it. 1: There is a way but its a little difficult to explain without images. I have a tutorials that I'll put online in the next couple of months showing exactly how to that that. 2: I'm not sure i understand what you mean about the bottom stitch doesn't seem to grab the lining. Can you explain more or post a pic? p

I think nappa is really buttery and thin compared to the 4 mm bridle leather. Alran goat leather is gorgeous as a lining and a bit more sturdy as well at only 1.2 mm thickness.

Thats what I thought. Thanks

Hi Enza, This depends a lot on the size and shape of the bag. If it has a really wide gussets then you don't want a sharp bend and vice versa. I dont really have fixed calculation, i just go with my feeling when making the proto. p

There is some really good vegan leather made out of cactus called Desserto, its from Mexico, a lot of known brands are using it, They do ship to the US.

Yes, thats correct. Standard is opening left to right with zippers. For a retourne bag you dont see the stitching so its no big deal if you dont want to use only one length of thread to sew the entire panel, but its always good practice :-)

yes, its also important to take care about how much you want the gusset to be pulled together with closed. I hope your big TV has a glamour filter for me :-I

You can back it with the wallet lining(I’m guessing goat skin) for a total thickness of 1.2

Hi Chaesu, Glad you are loving leather crafts! :-) You can either punch holes on both panels and match them up. You can avoid uneven edges by scoring a line with you compass to make sure the stitching line is exactly the same on both panels. The other method is harder at first, but once you master stitching with the awl it makes your life much easier as you don't need to count and match up holes. P

Thank you

edge bevels are for veg tanned skins in general and using the electric edge crease is for chrome tanned skins.
