[1/2] Making a sturdy EDC hip bag / satchel - Vegtan leather DIY

This is PART 1 of 2 in making a hip bag or pack! See what I'm selling on my Etsy shop: https://etsy.me/2RV4Dwe The leather is 3mm thick vegetable tanned (or vegtan) leather that I dye by hand using Fiebing's Oil Dye (aka Pro dye) in dark brown mixed with neatsfoot oil. All pieces are saddle-stitched by hand. ________ If you've been enjoying my videos and would like to support me directly, you can do so via one of the links below.
