This bag is so cute! I love the combination of leather and chevron pattern. I might try it with a teal chevron pattern...

Wow, I was so excited to see this pattern thank you! I love the combination of stripes and leather and have already selected my fabric. Tomorrow I will be visiting my local leather supplier for some black leather or suede, perhaps?. Just hope my aged sewing machine will cope with the leather or I may have to pay a visit to my wonderful friend, Heather, to use her fabulous sewing machine.

What a beautiful Leather Bottom Tote Bag this is. I just love bags, purses, you name it. I probably do not need another one, but I can't help myself. I so want to make this one. I truly appreciate how well the instructions are written, as well as all the photos that accompany the directions. Although I am hesitant about sewing leather or pleather. I was wondering if one needs a special needle or to make any adjustments to my sewing machine for sewing such fabrics?

I love the look of this bag. It has a "high end" look. I have just the material for this bag in my sewing room so I can start making it right away. I've only sewed with vinyl a few times, but learned quickly that the right foot is important. I purchased a glide foot and it works very well with this type of material.

I've been looking for a new work bag, and this one looks both cute and functional. This might be my next sewing project!

Wow! This looks like a high-end designer bag! Has anyone ever sewn vinyl or leather? I suppose I need a special sewing machine needle. I've seen some neat metal charms that would add a personal touch to the bag.
