Leather Purse

This quarter for makerspace one of my projects have been making a purse out of leather. The first step to this was to sketch out the design and do some math to calculate how big the pieces I needed to cut out were. The second step was using a ruler to sketch it out with pencil. This proved to be harder than I thought because of the corners that I had to make had to be a perfect 90 degree angle (I ended up using more tools then I probably needed to do that). Next step was to cut out the pieces of leather which I am still in the process of. I have used many leather cutting tools because it turns out leather is more difficult to cut then I thought. The tools that worked the best for me were this pizza slicer leather cutting tool and the leather cutting scissors. My next step for this project which I plan to do over interims is dying the leather black. which I will probably have to google how to do.
