I'm looking to make a leather bag. I've got a simple totepattern mapped out, but I'm curious about which type of awl, weight ofthread, andneedles to use as well as the best way to make and attach handles and a lining. I'm not entirely new to sewing, but I've never worked with leather before.
So far I've heard poly thread is my best option and for strengthI'm planning on sewing the bag using a technique I saw used in an Hermès documentary. I beleive it was called saddle stitching, but I'm not sure.It used two needles allowing the thread to cross over and overlap in every hole.
