almost done with this attempt to upcycle a secondhand temu bag into something useable [WIP, pt.3/4]
this is the front flap of the messenger bag, i've put just shy of 100hr into it over the last month and a half. would love to hear your thoughts!
what's left for me to do:
• finish the front embroidery
• re-seam the shoulder strap (already re-stitched the interior seams, i'll give a full bag tour once the whole thing is done)
• replace or reinforce the strap closures and replace the broken buckles with quality magnetic closures (haven't yet decided if i want to fully remove the pleather straps and replace them with segments of an old leather belt, or if i just want to reinforce them by stitching in black thread. definitely open to input on this as well!)
