      Thanks for the interest, guys- I'm working on a messenger bag. I made one a few years back and decided I wanted to do some revisions to the original design, including putting in a suede lining.  The earlier picture is (theoretically) the liner for the top flap of the bag. I'm not entirely satisfied with how it's coming together, so it may just end up on my pile of practice stitching.  If/when the bag comes together, I'll post some pictures.

      Oh, and @Filthy, the sewing machine is my beloved Singer 31-15, which is pushing 100 years old. I bought it from a nice lady in Houston back when I lived there. She was moving into a smaller apartment and needed to downsize. She threw in the sewing table with the beautiful old wrought iron base for free. Possibly my best eBay purchase of all time.

        Speaking of my ongoing project, I made some stupid mistakes cutting leather today, so I decided to do something smaller and less frustrating- a cover for my project planning Field Notes notebook.  It's poorly finished, but it worked as a mental palate cleanser.

          Yeah it's awesome. I have a similar one in my dining room that's non-functional. I'll have to take a picture of it. @Chris

                Excellent @Chap . That jacket is looking buttery in the sun.

                  What is a denim calendar?

                          Nice! Without seeing the inside, it's possible that could be restored to working condition. I've seen worse come back from the dead. The table looks pretty good, too. The treadle mechanism is intact, and it even has the big wheel. Those are harder to find, but they work a lot better.

                            The mechanism seems to still work. I think it just might need a belt. That was my great-grandmother'a.

                                    If you didn't know this already, you can determine the approximate age by looking up the serial number in this database.

                                      Would the serial number be on the bottom of the base of the machine part?
