Zeppelin - Tumblr Posts




Some progress shots of the Christmas gift I made for my sister. A zeppelin purse. (It's not a blimp, it's a rigid airship.) I drew up the design and laid out the cutsheets in Rhino, then used a laser cutter to cut the leather. Then there was a lot of sewing to do. I also hadn't really been positive how everything would fit together before I started, so I had to undo a couple lines of stitching when I was unable to fit my hands in to sew the last couple of rows of stitching.
I'll post some photos of the finished bag, complete with sister, sometime in the next couple of days.
I did snag the idea from someone else on Etsy who makes figural bags out of felt. Here's the airship bag that gave me the idea.


The completed zeppelin purse I made as a gift for my sister. The purse itself is made of laser-cut leather, stained red, sewn together, and wet-formed to shape. The strap is a chainmail weave in stainless steel.
I'm planning on making another as a late Christmas gift for a friend. I don't know if I'll make more at some point to sell. I got the idea from this other airship bag, so currently I'm not sure how I would feel about that.
Here are some progress shots of the piece being assembled.






The - yet unnamed - Air Pirate Zeppelin on its virgin flight over Blake Sea. It went perfectly smooth, including people who were afraid we would shoot them :-D






First impressions of the new Zeppelin DZ-1 "Zephyr". Coming soon!
