Cool grocery bag done!

This project brought me more headaches and hours to complete than planned:

Today I even pulled a muscle in my lower back when I was exerting force on the press to apply the studs :(

The finishings of the unions (red bias strips) turned out quite ugly :( They took so much work, and yet the results are disappointing — not that I was aiming for Louis-Vuitton finishings, but still.
Hopefully the leather straps and studs —which came out nicely— will attract onlookers attention, instead of the awful red strips. It also came out a bit larger than I wanted (compare to the chair’s size), but it’s OK; it looks cool ;)
VoilĂ  my grocery bag cooler than yours:
