This was my 3rd DIY leather bag kit, and overall I was very impressed with the experience.
The kit arrived quickly and included everything needed to complete the project, which made it especially beginner friendly. The materials and supplies were of good quality, and I was pleasantly surprised by how organized everything was. Although the video instructions were in another language, the English sub titles accompanying video tutorial wee fine. The video moved at a comfortable pace and was easy to pause, rewind, and rewatch whenever I needed clarification.
The finished bag turned out beautifully, and I’m genuinely proud of the result. It’s a bag I am excited to show off and even more excited to give to my girlfriend as a gift. There is something incredibly satisfying about creating a quality leather bag with your own hands.
For anyone considering one of these kits, my biggest piece of advice is to take your time and pay close attention to the small details. The little things keeping your stitches consistent, aligning pieces carefully, and not rushing can make all the difference in the final quality of your purse. Patience truly pays off.
Overall, this was a rewarding project, and I would happily recommend it to anyone interested in leather working or learning a new crafting skill.
I orderrd the Kelli sellier style, and I love it. It has silver hardware and a inner pocket. It's classy, elegant and looks beautiful!
I love these kits they are so fun
Absolutely beautiful and much bigger than I expected! Fits my iPad with plenty of room. Perfect for my work tote and I still have room!
Super cute mini. I sewed the larger size of this bag a few months ago and hesitated making this mini size thinking it would be harder to sew because it is so petite (and hands are big). I am happy to report the bag is just as easy to sew as the larger size. However, the video instructions are not the best. The 30-ish minute video is literally all of 11 minutes of construction instruction. The other 15 minutes is how to sew a saddle stitch. Had I not made the larger bag first, which DOES have extensive video instructions, I likely would have been at a wee bit of a loss.
