Mini Leather Satchel
Made to Empower
Instruction
Information
This file will create a leather mini satchel.
You will need Veg-Tan Leather, sam brown, and 1/2" D-rings.
My story of me empowerment would have to be that xtool machines have not only allowed me to continue to do leather craft, but to create new leather projects.
I am a leather craftsman of over 20 years, around year 15 I began to to have difficultly doing leather work. Years of cutting, and hole punching by hand took a toll on me. I became very depressed not being able to do what I loved. Last year my good friend showed me his P2 and what it could do with leather. I was so stunned that I immediately bought a F1 which was what I could afford. The F1 saves over 90% of the labor time and effort. But to add the cherry on top it came with XCS. Once I learned how to use it I started having trouble going to sleep because I had so many new ideas for projects running through my head. I am so grateful for my xtool. I finally feel like I have purpose in my life again. I can't wait to share more projects with other xtool members from here on out.
Instruction
Step1: Select your leather
I recommend a veg-tan leather either 1.5 or 2mm thick.
You will need the slide extension if using the F1.

Step2: Stitch on the front accent
Lets take our accent piece and stitch on to the front of the flap. Use a saddle stitch.
Step3: Sam Brown
Next take your sam brown stud and attach the the front body hole.
Step4: Gusset
Now take your gusset section and your d-ring tabs and attach your d-rings using rapid rivets. One on each side.
Step5: Stitch your gusset to front section
Now start your saddle stitch and attach your two pieces.
Step6: Stitch the back section to gusset
Don't let this step fool you. The back of the bag section has 50 holes, and the guesset has 48, start your stitch on either side on the first hole but attach your gusset to the second stitch hole.
Step7: Attach your strap
Now just take your shoulder strap and attach the the d-rings with rivets.
