The finished product!

And here it is.  Finally!   The red looks even better than I thought it would with the cork.  And yes, that one in the back is different.  I found a red strap with a crocodile print embossing that was long enough to cut into two handles and just enough extra leather to make one up.  I like that red with the cork even better.  So I’ve claimed it.  Now, besides being quite light in weight, cork is as durable as leather, environmentally friendly and naturally water repellant.

New customized pocket

So now my iPad mini has a home!  The worry with a larger tote is that things will get tossed around, possibly damaged by the other stuff we all inevitably cart around.  And if I don’t feel like bringing the iPad everywhere, I will have a place to put something else; something else that I might need to know it’s whereabouts and can find it without even looking inside the bag!  Oh, and that little strap hanging down the inside on the left?  Handy little hook for my keys…no more wasting time searching for them, shaking my bag to try to locate them!

The inside-out final step

This particular style of bag is built inside-out while the lining is built right-side out separately.  All that is left to do is turn it carefully (there is a trick to it!) and glue the lining inside.  One last stitch and we are done!
