Hello everyone,

I bring to you my recent creation based on customer's choice. Sometimes ago, I created this design and since then I've had lot of orders as people love the design and the neatness of my stitches. I've had people ask most times if they are being handmade and sown by the normal leg paddled sowing machine or its not handmade. I always surprise them with my answers that they are handmade. Lot of people are going into bag making here but I tend to make my bags unique and different. I dedicate more time to creating them so as to get a best result even though my machine sometimes makes it difficult. It was originally made for clothes making and can prove difficult when used on leather but what choice do I have? I have to use what I have at the moment as I'm saving up for a better electrical machine.

One thing about bags is that they are not like clothes that you can make different designs everyday. Once you create a new design, people can give orders on that designs for months so far they love the design. The only thing is they prefer it in different color and leather pattern and quality which is what I also try to bring to the table.

Few weeks ago, a customer called me and said she needed the bag but the color she want is the one that will go on most clothes so I went to the market. When I got there I called and asked her if she'll prefer black or brown and she choose brown immediately. Fortunately also, the brown leather has some cool patterns on it which makes it more beautiful.

Below I'll be showing some pictorial steps of how I made the bag.
