Vintage Leather Purse, Part 3

Finally managed to find some time after work to sew the purse together, but I haven't even  put the Christmas tree up yet! 

The final outcome I have to say is really good, considering this is my first leather purse! There were of course some issues. I used my Singer 201k with a 14 leather needle which went through it like butter, but it didn't like suede on suede. So suede on the presser food and feed teeth. It kept getting stuck, so I had to sew half way then go back and start the part I had not done, the amount of times I had to re cut was mad. My other issue I have with it is that the edges look so rough, but I have done my research in this are, but I still have NO idea how to finish the edges off.

I have found little time the past 2 weeks to do anything, so when I finally found some I only managed to get it all cut out. What I'm a little miffed about is not finding the time to get anything to sort the edges out! So had to use my scissors to cut all the edges at a 45 degree angle. I cut the pattern out using a knife as it gives a straighter edge and its looks ok, just worried that it may be a little smaller after it's all sewn up. Lucky I have another 7foot just incase it goes wrong.
