    Wow clever you I could never sew my own
    you will be the envy of all the girls in your school
    I had a brown leather one when I was at school
    and also saddle soap it most kids had them and they were not expensive
    my daughter had one bright yellow and red she loved it
    when she was at school still had it in a box till she moved out and took it to charity shop was a bit miffed when she saw the price of them on ebay
    we have a shop in Cambridge that does them any colour or design you like but the prices are up there with top designers

    It was the cost of the bags in the shops that made me sew my own - it wasn't a cheap kit, but the leather is lovely and about half the cost of ready made. Plus I could chose whatever colour combination I wanted, which made it feel more exclusive!

    Wow! Well done CSF!! That's beautiful! I love the colour and it looks so well made. I would never have dreamed that you could make one yourself. I think it's worth the sore fingers to have something that wonderful.

    Brilliant. I could do with a shoulder bag, preferably one with lots of pockets. :)

    Bought a Christmas heart kit from them at the Harrogate show last November. Very easy to make up, and something different for the Christmas trees. :)

    Always look on the bright side, if you can't find it then polish up the dull side.

    This is wonderful! I can imagine it being very tough indeed on the fingers.

    When I went to secondary school satchels were definitely not cool; a briefcase was the thing to have. But I wanted a satchel so that's what I got, and I never regretted it. Don't know what happened to it after I left, though.
