Comacchio Leather Bag HowTo

[Martin Moser]

Putting in the side pieces: I marked and pierced the holes on the long sides of the main and side piece starting at the same distance from the edge and at the same interval. On the short side of the side piece I moved the outer hole to the left and the right a bit towards the middle to account for the 90 degree bend. I did almost the hole of the U-shaped seam with one long piece of waxed linnen thread starting on the front top edge. Only the last 5 holes or so were done against that direction in order to be able to hide the knots a bit deeper down and inside the bag.
In order to get a nice and even seam follow all the time the same in-out sequence with the yarn. As I said somewhere before I think, with piercing the holes with an awl and widening them enough that way, you don't even need needles or anything to sew. Just simply thin out the ends of the waxed yarn and twist them tight again to form nicely drawn out, thin tips.

(Let me know if that description is not clear enough)
