Sexy leather

Today I went to a salvage store to buy fabric and I came across with leather. Really good price I bought a very soft butterscotch color leather, 3,25 pounds for $19.00 dollars. It wasn't in perfect conditions but good enough to try to make a handbag for myself. I really know nothing about leather. I love it but I have never made anything with leather. I have been making some research on line and it looks like I can do it with my standard sewing machine, if I can't I'm thinking on braiding the pieces together.

This is what I made with the leather and I have enough to make another purse
