But it is definitely not the bag for a beginner. The video is not step by step, nor do they tell you the basics (like how much thread you will need per seam). Took a bit to figure out, but it was worth it!
The leather is excellent quality. With all of the little stitches it probably took me 15 hours to finish. The instructions are really challenging if you don’t complete the mini version first. Even though I have calluses on my fingers, I can’t wait to make the other one that I have ordered. You won’t be disappointed.
First I want to start with all the good things. The leather is beautiful. I purchased the Blue Jean Evelyn 29 kit and the color is gorgeous. All the hardware is top notch. It's not an easy bag to work on but I was up to the challenge. Here are the bad thing; all the top piping leather strips are 1cm too short. I counted all the holes before I sewn, and the leather piping strips did not line up. The instruction video shown that the piping strips are even longer so you can cut if off. Well not on my bag. Also the instruction video shown the Evelyn Mini, not the Evelyn 29, but I managed to figure it out. Popsewing, if you read this, please check your pattern, because I notice the same thing on other reviewers' pictures too, the top piping leather strips are SHORT.

Mir hat das Set richtig Spaß gemacht. Da ich schon etwas Erfahrung mit DIY Boxen habe, habe ich auch die Kanten bearbeitet. Jetzt ist das wirklich aus gekauft. Ich kann es absolut weiterempfehlen.
It took me quite some time to finish this bag due to the number of stitches. Very pleased with the result.
