Here is a little crossbody bag I just finished. It is a modified version of the Lizzie Crossbody Bag. I also took inspiration from Phil's Mini Doctor Bag on how to do the raised portions, and I also took inspiration from the De Havilland Travel Bag on how to use canvas webbing for the straps. I used riviera matte French calfskin leather from RM Leather Supply.
Phil your courses are so brilliantly thought out; thank you for doing what you do. Even if some of the projects are not currently at the top of my to-do list to make, they are all worth watching and studying. All of your courses have new and unique techniques that are simply unavailable anywhere else. I have spend hundreds of hours during the course of my subscription studying your videos. I just need to now continue with more hands-on learning by making more projects. Sadly, my first subscription has expired. But I can say with certainty that I will be resubscribing very soon once I can set some more money aside for it.
Thanks again Phil!
Love the bag and I specially like the choice of leather!
Personally, there are two things i would modifcy in the bag.
1- The location of the closure. It is visually too close to the angle of the V shape insert. In some pictures it actually looks like it is overlapping by a mm on the insert.
One thing that could be done is to have a "reverse" triangle and center the closure in the dead center of what became a diamond. Kind of like this
Another thing would be to use magnetic snaps and hide them under the insert.
2- The Strap: While it is beautifully crafted, i find it too big/wide for such a fine bag. Basically, your bag is too classy for such a strap imo. A thinner leather strap would take this bag to the next level
