Day 89 - Leather Handles

Before - 65 Straps of Leather

I pulled out the large box containing my order of leather straps.  The day I have been dreading has arrived - Leather Handles

 This next phase requires several time consuming steps, including: 

• Measuring
• Marking
• End Punching
• Hole Punching
• Placement on Bag Exterior
• Sewing Handles onto Bag Exterior
• Riveting

After – 130 Handle
