DIY Sew: Bucket Bag



 
Materials:
7 to 10 Sq ft of sheep's hide leather
Purchased here on Amazon.com
Rotary cutter
Ruler
Double sided tape
Leather Punch
Sewing Machine
Leather needle
Polyester thread

Step 1: Cut leather using the below pattern
Due to the size of the piece of my leather I needed to cut the main piece in 2 instead of 1
 
Step 2: With right sides of leather touching tape the right, left and bottom sides of leather together (only at the edges)
 

 

Step 3: Sew across the bottom, and up the sides, be sure to use a leather needle, adjust tension to 4, and stitch length to 3 1/2 (note this is what I used, this will vary on every machine). Note: Press as lightly as possible on your presser foot while sewing. After sewing the sides, join the corners, tape, and sew (do this to both corners)
 
 
Step 4: Turn bag right side out , punch evenly spaced holes 2.5" apart and 2" down from the top (5 on each side)
 
 
Step 5: Sewing the strap: Tape the two pieces of leather together (wrong sides together), sew up both the right and left sides (sew in the same direction)
 
Step 6: Cut 1/8'' by 25" piece of leather and thread it through the holes
 
Step 7: Sew the strap onto the bag
 
 
Done!

To eliminate the mold spores in the air, all areas where humidity and warmth are combined should be carefully checked Newport Cigarettes Website. This includes the vent for clothes dryers, especially if vented indoors or to an attic Tobacco Store. Bathrooms without exhaust fans provide an excellent opportunity for mold growth Marlboro Menthol.
