Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm not sure yet if I'm honest, I'm kind of leaning towards a relatively simple crossbody or satchel type bag with a flap and buckled straps. The main reason I've not gone to bags yet is just size, I mostly use offcuts so I simply don't have any larger pieces to work from. I did however get a fantastic deal on an entire goat leather side because it has a few cosmetic blemishes which might be big enough for that kind of project. Something a bit like this:

And the hide in question:

That's a really simple design, it'll go with a lot of outfits and it's a good side. I wouldn't know where to begin with that hide...

Its kinda daunting, I've never worked with a single large piece before, all the offcuts are weird shapes, lengths and thicknesses which I find fun to use as I have to be creative with my choices. The hide was 'only' £20 but I don't want to waste it.

Yep, you're stepping into the unknown and it's daunting. It's not nice wasting money, but I'd say the learning from doing it wrong is money well spent
