Step 2
First cut the top of both outer pieces of leather with pinking shears for a decorative edge. Then, with right sides facing, glue the edges together about 1/8" (0.3cm) on each side.
Step 3
After gluing, sew the pieces together along the edges using a 1/4" (0.5cm) seam allowance.
Step 4
After stitching, turn the bag right side out, and attach the metal snap stud and socket to the fastener and bag front.
Step 5
Finally, sew the hand straps inside the bag mouth, and you’re done!
