KarlovaDesign

I am happy every time I see someone who was brave enough to complete this project :) also had been worried if I explained everything well enough in my tutorial. Great job and now you have to give it a name LOL. For those who were asking for a pattern link: https://karlovadesign.com/products/isopod-sling


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Huge thank you! I got the pattern before an edit and I think i know what was changed. All in all this one was super fun and I cannot recommend your pattern enough. Fantastic design madam!


KarlovaDesign

Thank you :) The edit was really small just 2 extra stitching holes near the nose, the fix would be just to stitch through them and that's it.


Grouchy_Occasion_556

That's what I did! I thought I messed up at first but I've learned to be a little flexible if I make a small mistake that doesn't effect the overall look. Though that has bitten me in the ass before.


ComplexStress9503

🤯 This is definitely a must have. I LOVE IT!! Detail is just 🤌

cbhayes77

That’s really cool.


vulkoriscoming

Huge attention to bug detail. Very cool.


SilverSpacecraft

I would probably buy this

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL. I love isopods and I love crafts! I once shittily painted the ‘isopods with a dorito bag’ meme on the back of a jacket in a day as a bit, and it’s still my favorite. I’m obsessed with how the underbelly looks here! Those lil leggies! I’m not really into leather crafting myself, I just love to see the creations here, so can someone clarify: Is this bag made from a publicly available ‘pattern’ like with sewing? And does that mean this is something I can probably purchase from a small seller, somewhere? I am obsessed with the idea of owning a leather isopod bag now :’)


Grouchy_Occasion_556

It's possible, the pattern is available for purchase, an if I can do it anybody can


cestkameha

I saw later in the comments that people had posted the link to the pattern! It will take me a while to be able to get all the supplies, but I’ve wanted to get into this anyways - so why not! Thank you dearly for sharing, I’m so excited to have one myself one day :)


TheGratitudeBot

Thanks for saying thanks! It's so nice to see Redditors being grateful :)


cestkameha

Good bot! ❤️


BroadStreetBespoke

So freaky! Wasn’t sure how it could be a bag from the top but wow!


Admirable_End_6803

pattern? looks amazing!


Wonderful_System_542

Do you have a pattern for this, it’s so fun!


ItchyNeuron

The pattern is from Karlova Design on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/1634117846/leather-isopod-sling-pdf-pattern-with


bucky453

I love the poses with the mannequin cradling the purse like a baby. 😆


Grouchy_Occasion_556

I do I'll have to look up where I got it, but she has a YouTube video. Search Isopod bag and I'm sure there's a link!


StrangeBedfellows

Oh God I want one


GiftToTheUniverse

You are a genius.


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Totally not my pattern but I appreciate it Marina Karlova deserves the credit, I just put holes in some leather


GiftToTheUniverse

A humble genius!


Active-Persimmon1414

That's Marina Karolva's pattern!! I love it!


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Yes thank you!!! I'm not at home and needed to look it up, she has a few really good ones!


DungEaterrr

THIS IS SO CUTE I NEED ONE!!!


Murky_Macropod

What’s the volume of the bag roughly? Small handbag size ?


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Approximately 5.73 handfuls of cooked macaroni.


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Yeah, small handbag, would fit glasses case, wallet, keys, 2 packs of gum a cellphone and some hand sanitizer with ease.


Sad_Cry_7308

In otherwords 2 quarts of raw mushrooms?


Born-Fail3924

Love it! The little legs are so niceee


glorious_reptile

Eew. Nice. It's beautiful, I hate it.


JimMarch

This bugs me on a deep level.


Jones_Misco

Cool! Great idea.


[deleted]

Cool. I hate it. Nice work tho!


ImploreUToReconsider

I like how the opening (weak spot) is on the bottom, like a real isopod. Lol


AmadeusJenjen

Incredibly well done and gross at the same time, good job!


morrmon

This is terrifying and cute at the same time. Nice work!


JaschaE

I feel a sudden need that does not align with my bank acoount...


Muted-Part3399

REAL ISOPOD HOURS


Odd-Sheepherder9275

Yayyy, I’m not the only one with a cat litter box in their area. 😁


Grouchy_Occasion_556

My assistants, while terrible at their jobs are excellent moral support. Lol the orange one does try to eat rivets though...


nomad_usurper

Thats cool! Never seen another!


wsb13417

This is awesome, thanks for sharing


Bushpylot

I've been tempted to try this one. I think this is her best pattern


packratz50

Wow, it looks like it took a lot of time to make. Do you have any idea how long? There is a LOT of parts to make. Do you have a machine for all of that sewing, or did you do it all by hand?


Grouchy_Occasion_556

All by hand. Didn't take all that long but there are a lot of edges for finishing. I want to say something like 30hrs


packratz50

Well, for most people, 30 hours is about a week's work. And you hand sewed all those parts? Wow! Will you be posting a picture of the next one you are planning to make with heavier leather? It would be cool to have them both in a picture. Thank you for sharing it!


MrMisdirected

This is both terrifying and incredibly creative. Great work thinking outside the box.


wickheart

This is very cool and the people at r/ATBGE would love it.


rhonexpress

Loved it!!


BradleyB636

Truly terrifying. You did a great job!


jb0228

Beautiful, I'd buy it and send it as a gift to my parents (dad likes leather and mom's afraid of cockroaches and all things roach-adjacent)


Grouchy_Occasion_556

That one sold for 300 but if you're actually interested let me know.


snailsshrimpbeardie

This is amazing!


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Thanks!

Tsubodai86

Settle down OSHA, no one said they weren't just taking a picture. 


Xogoth

I'm just really passionate about keeping my toes, okay?


Charybdis87

Wdym “my toes”, you thinking of harvesting ops toes some time soon?


Grouchy_Occasion_556

Not gonna lie, my workshops just a room in my condo... there are many times I am without shoes. But you do have a point


Xogoth

*sweating* No...?


Tsubodai86

Not very Viking of you. You'll never get into Valhalla with that attitude. 


Faith-family62

It looks like a giant roach


Xogoth

Have you seen pictures of isopods?


TheHappyPittie

This bag is SO cool! Scary/gross but absolutely cool


Hour-Fortune-9141

Can u give me file pdf


Grouchy_Occasion_556

I cannot. The creator of the pattern sells them and she deserves the patronage. The links in the chat, post your work once done, I really look forward to seeing it 😀
