I made this backpack specifically for my Amsterdam trip and it served me well!

I'm often asked if I sell my bags or have a store. I don't yet, but I'm figuring it out! In the meantime, you can join my mailing list to be the first to know! lingchangdesig...

I got the leather from Renee, who is helping a furniture company repurpose tonnes of their leather scraps. Thanks to Renee, I'm no longer cutting leather off of random abandoned couches any more! If you'd like to order some, check out her facebook group here: / 325491416257150
The leather is super affordable and the scraps are biiig

I love this bagpack tote! I was trying to find out where to buy it when I found your video on how you made it!! Also, your prayer plant game is en pointe!

@TheLingChang Год назад

Oh thank you!!! Whenever I used that bag it brings back great memories of my Amsterdam trip. Haha the prayer plants are sooo fickle! They’re not as happy as they were in the video

@AileenTownsend Год назад

@@TheLingChang i have had a couple prayer plants not make it this winter 😭 Fickle is right!

Would absolutely love to add this to my collection. Stylish AND keeps the material out of the landfill. Win/Win Do you have an Etsy shop or something?

LOL I dunno if your timestamp is a little off but its taking me to "ice cream sandwich" hahaha

@marthawood7069 Год назад

I discovered your channel yesterday. Good thing but not such a good thing. Now I want to work in leather in addition to the ither things I do. 🤪. Please tell me what do you use to make the pattern it looks so sturdy and fabulous. Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest if us. ❤🎉

@TheLingChang Год назад

Awwwww hahaha this made me so happy! Thanks Martha! I hope you do end up trying out some leather projects! For my patterns I actually just prototype them out of paper, and repeat a few times until I get something I like

@rockyrhoadss783 2 года назад

Wow had to hand stitch everything 💪🏻💪🏻

@TheLingChang 2 года назад

Hahaha because I don’t have a proper leather sewing machine yet! But at least I enjoy hand stitching. Thanks for watching! 🤩

Thank you!!!

@noellebible6633 Год назад

Beautiful work! Can you please tell me how you put the backpack straps behind the trolley strap?

@TheLingChang Год назад

For sure! They’re held by two elastic band loops that are stitched to the side of the bag under the trolley flap

@noellebible6633 Год назад

@@TheLingChang Thank you! Is that just for when you don't want to use the backpack?

@BeautyWithAHeart 2 года назад

Hello Ling, New here. The great part about making our own bag is that we can customise it to our needs. You are very skilful, Ling. Just join your YT Family. Stay connected, take care ya. =)

@jonnieinbangkok 2 года назад

The designs are getting more complicated but it turned out great 👍

@TheLingChang 2 года назад

Hahaha thank you Jonnie! I dunno why I picked a complicated design considering my time constraint but yeah, I'm glad it turned out!

I was really hoping for a tennis bag, but this is pretty sick. You get a pass...for now ;)

@TheLingChang 2 года назад

LOLOL omg Vitaliy I was almost gonna leave a comment in the video for you about how this isn't a tennis bag and that I'm sorry but I'm glad I have your approval
