Deconstruction
It was rather fun taking apart the seams and ripping off the old leather. It might have had something to do with the fact that it was Louis Vuitton. Insert me squealing like a school girl here.
New Leather
Sewing with Leather
I thought that once the leather strips were sewn on, the hard part was done. Boy, was I wrong! The most challenging part was sewing the side panels back to the main part of the bag. The leather stretched out from (what I am guessing was) the deconstruction part, so the notches did not line up! I had to adjust the seam allowance slightly just to get the notches to kinda line up and then I gently stretched out the leather on the shorter side to fit correctly.
