My Creative Space: Leather Briefcase # 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is part # 2 of work in progress with my leather briefcase.

See part # 1 here
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of you might still remember that I began making a black leather briefcase in February. It was going well until I the flapper dresses took all my time and attention. After 10 weeks with a break here and there from the dresses and the skirts, my briefcase is finished.





It is beautiful, sturdy and stylish. It comes with four pairs of interchangeable T.T. flowers.






I have not decided yet whether I will sell it. I will weigh my feelings for a while. Also, I already have so many bags. Should I sell this one and make another one for myself? Will I have time? Or do I really need another bag?



I would like to use more of my clothes-sewing time for making leather bags next year. Then the bags will be for sale because I cannot keep them all to myself, and also I have to earn the money I spent on the materials back.




If anyone has some advice or thoughts I would love to hear. Should I sell it or keep it?

Hi Bai! The briefcase is just wonderful! The poppies add that something that makes it stand out even more!
Sell or keep? Weigh your feelings for a time and you will know! ;-))

It's a beauty and I agree that the flowers add a special "something"; It will make someone else very happy if you sell it and no doubt it will make a wonderful addition to your accessories!

Very stylish, well done.The flowers are a good addition.

this si amazing! I can't believe you made it -- you are so talented!

I say keep this one for yourself: think of it as an investment in advertising! You can wear it around and hand out business cards when everyone stops you to tell you how gorgeous it is.

And then make more so I can buy one :)

Thank you everyone, for the compliments and advice. I am more likely to sell it because I can always make another one for myself if I want to.

Will be hard to let it go though.
