Designing A Leather Hip Bag Pattern

UPDATE – You can now get the hip bag pattern above! More info HERE Yep you did read correctly, a leather hip bag pattern is on the agenda today. I had some time this morning to get going on a little side project and I’ve always wanted to make a leather corset. But as I don’t want to jump straight into making a corset with this beautiful but unfamiliar fabric, I thought I’d start with something a little less complicated. (Plus I’ve always wanted to make a bag!) So here are the designs I’ve been making –

I’m going with a simple on the hip design as shown in the top right but probably leaving off the garter bit.

I used some scrap fabric and pins to work out a sewing pattern for it by literally placing it on my hip and drawing on the fabric. I’ve also got a load of leather to practice with from my aunts old sofa! This is where I’m up to with it –

There’ll be a zip along the top and a second pocket compartment on the front. I’ll also be making a corset mock up today, more piccys later!
