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.
