Beautiful!! What leather did you use for padding it?

I hadn't considered doing it that way but really like the idea for my totes. It sounds far better than heavily gluing the lining on and then still sometimes having it wrinkle when I turn the bag right side out. I'd love a more in depth explanation or photos esp of how you tack it in and do the zipper, thank you!

Speaking of doing edges, where can I buy the sponge sticks shown in the edge finishing video?

I'm not sure if you can get it wherever you are but I'm extremely fond of Barge's. I make a lot of turned totes and even with wrestling them right side out the lining of my bags doesn't wrinkle or warp LOL That said, totally agree that stitching it up is best!

Are you using the original Tokonole or the colored ones? your edges are beautiful!
