Needles Size 6 (4 mm): 24” circular (cir). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions Markers (m); tapestry needle; 10” × 5½“ piece of plastic or ⅛” plywood for bottom of bag; 32” × 13” piece of fabric for lining (optional); 12” leather purse handles (sample shown with custommade handles); 1” buckle; 9” tubular frame for top of bag; 15” × 5” piece of leather; sewing needle and thread; leather sewing needle and thread; leatherworking awl.
