Suede Tote (Recycled From Lg. Men's Coat)

This bag is detailed with loads of tassels. I've draped them freely across the front of the bag (as another option for a shoulder strap) as well as from the back to the front as a braided strap to keep the bag closed.
Sewing with leather on a regular sewing machine can be a bit of a challenge, but with a little determination, it can be very possible on most machines. Finding the right combination of material (not too thick leather/suede), thread, needles and thread tension on your machine is the key to sewing with these kind of tough materials. I wish you luck and I look forward to seeing your results!
