De Havilland - completed
Flipped the bag and was thrilled with how things turned out. Thought for certain I was going to discover stitches either creeping over or too far away from the piping but thankfully that wasn't the case. Phil's direction was spot on. I'll likely be making another one of these with more contrast in color - pleased with how the bag looks but it's a bit heavy on the chocolate color. I still need to make the strap but was eager to share the bag itself.
Thanks again Phil for the exceptional and very thorough tutorial. Definitely learned a LOT making this bag.

Thanks Phil - This was such a great build. My excitement to flip / finish the bag was quickly replaced by sadness knowing the project was complete. Even so, I now have a great bag which I'm extremely proud of. There are definitely some areas for improvement (in terms of my execution) and I look forward to building another. Currently, I'm waiting on some new leather to begin the cutler briefcase build - can't wait.
As always, your detailed videos were perfect and I've been plugging your site whenever I post any photos of projects I've created through your courses (so long as I believe my execution is worthy of doing so).
