Patch old LOGO area of bag

 This repair is for a bag with an old LOGO label removed from bag.

The old label was removed however there is mark which very obvious, hence owner decide to fix this issue. Hence request to attach a new leather material to cover those ugly hole marks.

Prepare a new patch to cover up marks on bag surface after remove original bag logo.

Please see the area to place a new layer to cover up marks.

Notice the rear of patch with a white foam backing stick to a leather layer.

Note：- try use a leather material which is non vegtan leather, the result is the emboss area is not very good emboss pattern.

First wet the leather and use an emboss press own logo on it, cut to required shape.

Pre punch holes along the edge before attach foam layer.

Attached a foam layer on rear of leather, for the effect and as well to give it a better support.

What I do was to cut the foam layer to match the leather shape, then trim off the edge to allow easier to do stitching work.

WHY do this sequence, to pre punch stitching hole first? Due to limited space on this repair project find difficulty to put a board inside project.

Position check where to place new leather patch

** note the arrow is to show the places where the previous metal logo leg have leave ugly marks is removed.

Remove some thread from inside bag for access to inside to make it easier to perform stitching work.

Note :- did not observe which thread to remove, this resulted in more work to cover up later. The inner lining, zipper and outer layer all fall apart.

After apply glue to both the bag surface the new logo layer  and allow glue it to set before attaching.

After allow sufficient time for both layer glue to harden. Use a sharp awl to punch hole thru in preparation to do stitching work.

The old mark of the logo metal leg is very obvious, hence need to cover them

It best to work the stitches from the bottom edge and move to the top. This is my preference in stitching sequence..

Once the stitching is complete the next step is to reassemble the inner layer, zipper and outer layer with appropriate colour thread to match bag

Once the new leather layer is attached the job is done. 

Take note the bottom bag with it metal logo, the top bag with new leather logo.
