Comacchio Leather Bag HowTo

[Martin Moser]

Preparing the upper end of the side pieces for the shoulder strap: These are folded over backwards, probably to strenghten that part, and show a slit, taking up the shoulder strap, ca. 2cm wide and at about 1.5 - 2cm downwards from the top edge.



I decided to incorporate the folded back part of the side pieces into the seam joining the side and main pieces of the bag. this meant opening that seam once more, as I hadn't thought about that early enough :-P



There may or may not have been edging around the protruding part, we don't know. I went against it, as the leather is doubled here already anyway.
