1. Fabric and Leather Clutch

Isn't this beautiful? I love the combination of marble print fabric and icy blue leather. Aside from the leather and fabric, this tutorial also calls for heavyweight interfacing and button for closure. Since you will be working with leather, we recommend that you use clips instead of pins to keep the sections together for sewing.

3. Oversized Tote

From mini, we go to oversized DIY leather bags. This is a classic leather bag shape. If you make one, you will end up using it for many years since it will never go out of trend. And since you're working with leather, you no longer have to deal with things such as constructing the lining. You simply sew the leather section, add straps, add interior pockets, and you're done. Make the tassel hanging for that extra style oomph.

4. Fringe Mini Sling

The material used for this cute fringe bag is suede but soft leather will work for this project, too. Unlike the previous tote tutorial, though, you will have to include lining for this particular bag. You will also have to sew a zipper. Don't worry, adding lining and zipper are actually quite easy; I can do it in my sleep. For the helpful steps, check out the tutorial below.

5. Simple Tote

How lovely is this DIY leather bag? This is incredibly easy to make, too. Basically, you will need two pieces of leather for the front and back sections of the bag. You will then make curved cuts on the opening and oval cut-outs for the handle. You then sew the pieces together to make your fun leather bag. Easy!
