Story of a handbag (handmade with cloth lining)

This time i was challenged to make a handbag for my sister.

The requirements were mainly - "it has to be cool".
Ok. Cool.

I didn't really know what to do, so i just started at a button specialist shop and went from there.
A lot of thinking and hesitating beforehand and then mostly improvising on the way.

Once again i tried something new, i've never done before - so i tried some cloth lining.

In the end i pretty much f*cked it all up - but fortunately that's not included in the video :P

the video shows:
- the button store
- fabric shop
- leather shop
- cutting, trimming
- edge beveling
- edge painting
- burnishing
- attaching and securing the lining
- sewing by hand
- placing rivets
- attaching magnetic buttons

Enjoy watching!
