I need a leather strap pattern
okay so i have this bag i call the bag of theseus, right?
I've replaced two broken buckles
replaced one leather strap attachment entirely
by opening up one side to install it and resealing the thing with invis stitch (that i honestly need to shore up as you can see here)
and countless small stitch jobs for the lining.
I have had this bag for over 10 years and i am not about to give up on the thing
BUT
the front pocket strap has been busted and unable to ACTUALLY clip the pocket closed for YEARS.
I have a BUNCH of leather scrap at various weightages. I've got a leather punch, awls, thread, leather needles, and edge-kote.
This is such a specific type of strap so google/duckduckgo is useless, does ANYONE have a pattern for a bag-strap (preferably with snap fasteners) that I can make from scratch? I could probably reuse this buckle if need be but I just want to be able to hold the front pocket closed while I'm riding a bike or smth
thanks folks!
