Vintage Leather Book Tote

Learn how to make a rugged, vintage-style leather book tote using simple pattern pieces, clean hand stitching and a classic antiqued finish. Chuck Dorsett with Weaver Leather Supply walks through leather selection, casing for crisp stamping, cutting and grooving, punching consistent stitch holes, dyeing, antiquing, top coating, burnishing, building trunk-style handles, setting double cap rivets and sewing in gussets for a square, durable pouch.

This is a giftable project that looks like it’s been used and loved. It's perfect for Bibles, study materials, journals, or any book you want protected and easy to carry.
