In this video I’m diving into another Babylon Leather DIY bag kit—this time it’s the Zip Top Tote in that dreamy “Blue Haze” color. If you love a glam, polished bag that still feels handmade (because it is), this kit is such a fun sew. I talk through what makes these leather kits so satisfying to put together, what to pay attention to as you’re assembling a structured tote, and why I keep coming back to Babylon Leather when I want a bag that looks boutique-level when it’s done. I also share some pattern talk and what’s on my radar, including New Look N6163, New Look N6217, New Look N6439, and McCalls M6796—because you know I’m always thinking about the next make. And yes—stay with me to the end because I’ve got a BIG announcement tucked in there. If you’re into glam sewing, DIY bags, and a little Friday sewing catch-up energy, this one is for you.
