Thanks! It probably would make a nice handbag.
As for sewing leather, it can be challenging, but it’s mostly about having the right equipment. You need a heavy-duty sewing machine. For me, that’s my Janome.
You also need the right feet. When the right side (the smooth side) is face-up, a nylon foot works well. When the rough side is face-up, a walking foot does the job. Also, you need needles that are made for sewing leather.
