RECYCLE Vintage Leather BAG

A while ago someone gave me a soft vintage leather jacket which was horrible. But b'coz its material so I thought I keep it. In case. Today when I'm feeling low.. I get the idea to make a bag out of it. Maybe can also give you an inspiration how to recycle thing. Now get your scissor ready.. So I dismantle everything on the jacket. Pieces and pieces.. doesn't need to be a perfect cut of piece. We are having fun here.. don't complicate your life..let your scissor take the rest. Then re-sew the pieces on top of each other into a one big piece. I folded in two and sew the side edges. It is recommended to use thread for a jeans.. basically strong thread than normal. Put the handle on the side and insert the lining (optional). I don't do zipper or pocket. I attach snap button though..also recycle from an old crap. Oh well.. at least the old jacket now has a new life until I get bore and wish for a new bag. So today moral lesson is not to throw away an old junk. Recycle them if possible. This world we are living in already occupied with rubbish. Lets together make a better living. What you need : -Any leather junk -scissor -Thread -fabric for lining (optional) -sewing machine (optional)..you still can sew by hand though. -willing..
