And now I will tell you a little about this model of the bag:
The model of my baguette bag was taken as a basis, the only thing that remained from it is more or less the same dimensions. The shape of the bag was slightly changed, and an internal pocket with a zipper was added. Also, so to speak, the shoulder strap was changed, its length and width.
Bag characteristics and what I used to sew this model:
pattern)
leather thickness 1.4-1.6 mm dense
punches with a pitch of 4 mm
thread thickness 0.55 mm
glue, knife, ruler)
tokonol, sandpaper and slicker
edge cutter
carabiners and half rings 20 mm wide
zipper for the inside pocket and the main zipper size No. 5
eyelets for fixing the zipper stopper
dimensions of the bag in the finished version
--- 10.5 '*5.5' *2.9' inches
--- 26.5*14*7.3 cm
shoulder strap length 23 inches or 58 cm, the length is indicated together with the length of the carabiners.
That's basically it.

Всем привет!

За основу была взята модель моей сумки багет, единственное что осталось от неё это более-менее эти же размеры. Была изменена немного форма сумки, и добавлен внутренний карман на молнии. Так же был изменен, так сказать, плечевой ремешок его длина и ширина.
Характеристики сумки и что я использовал при пошиве данной модели:
выкройка)
кожа толщина 1,4-1,6 мм плотная
пробойники с шагом 4 мм
нитка толщиной 0,55мм
клей, нож, линейка)
токонол, наждачная бумага и сликкер
кромкорез
карабины и полукольца шириной 20мм
молния для внутреннего кармана и основная молния размер №5
хольнитены для фиксации стопора молнии
размеры сумки в готовом варианте
--- 10,5' *5,5' *2,9’ дюйма
--- 26,5*14*7,3 см
длина плечевого ремешка 23 дюйма или же 58 см, длина указана вместе с длиной карабинов.
Вот в принципе и все.
