That is beautiful! Is the bottom flat? How did you do that?

Funny side-note, I just woke up and in my dream I had a leather tote bag similar to this one

Thanks! Yes the bottom is flat. I’ll include a pic of the pattern but it’s hard to explain. Look on YouTube for tote bag videos. There are a bunch. I watched one and then made the pattern. It’s very easy and quick to do because no edge work is necessary apart from the ends of the straps.

Oh, that is an easy pattern! I am a bit into sewing (with fabrics), so it's not that different :) Neat!
