Colleen at Pretty Prudent shows how you can make a faux leather bucket bag that’s pretty awesome. It’s lined in a contrasting cotton. A cord threaded through grommets around the top of the bag loosely cinches it in. If you don’t have faux leather, you could also use a home dec weight fabric for the outside of the bag.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to turn everyone on to a great leather supplier out of NYC. They are called District Leathers. Their website is http://www.districtleathers…and they are super friendly and helpful. They carry all types of leather that you can take out right from their showroom on 263 West 38th St. (15th floor) in NYC. No appointment necessary.
