Leather satchel pattern PDF - Reel to reel player - by Leatherhub

This is an 13 page digital PDF pattern meant to guide you through creating a leather vintage looking shoulder bag resembling a reel to reel tape player as shown in the pictures. I grew up listening to one of these as my dad was a music enthusiast back in the 80's, so this project started out of pure nostalgia.

- The bag measures about 300 x 300 x 110 mm ( ~12 x 12 x 4 inches ) and has three outside pockets and a main compartment.
- You will need two 30 mm D-rings and three zippers, one at least 300 mm ( ~12 inches ) in length and two more of at least 240mm ( 9.5 inches ) in length.
- Also make sure a fastening snap or a head ball stud is at hand for the lower pocket that closes using any of such accessories.
- I used thicker 2 mm ( 5-6 oz ) leather for some parts and thinner 1.5 mm( 3 - 4 oz ) for some others. You will find their the thinner parts marked with their weight on the pattern.
- For crafting the strap you will need 6 rivets and a 30 mm buckle.
- You may use whatever tool you have at hand for punching out the stitching holes but should you happen to have access to a Craftool 3 mm punching chisel set, it would considerably lower the amount of work as many of the holes are spaced to be punched with such tools. You may google ‘Tandy 88045-6’ for more information.
