Welcome to my You Tube channel. I am a teacher and bespoke maker of leather and textiles goods. I love making and finding out how things are made. I also love teaching people and passing on my skills, which I hope to do here.
If I could, I'd love to get everyone making as there is no feeling quite like it in these modern times.

Using symbols and colour gradients for repeat patterns (for non-tec people and those tec terrified)
In this tutorial, I show you how to use symbols to create repeat patterns in Affinity Designer.
This tutorial is aimed at those who are not confident with the technology or are just starting out with using a computer for design. If you are a tech whizz then this tutorial is not for you. I am not affiliated with Affinity, this is just my experience of using the software.
We build on the initial pattern developed in my previous tutorial. We cover how to create the pattern repeat using symbols, (just a simple mirror and repeat), and then we use gradients to enhance the use of colours in the design.

Glove Making FAQ 1: Adding depth to the trank
มุมมอง 718ปีที่แล้ว
One of the questions I am often asked is how to accommodate the depth of the hand within your trank. In the first video of my glove pattern-making series, I inadvertently cut out the key explanation and had to add it to the description below that video. In this video, I explain how and why we need to add the depth of your hand to your trank pattern. I walk you through each stage and show you ho...

Thank you so much.... I watch four videos before I viewed yours and You are the only one that showed how to thread both needles... Each person assumed that you should already know it.... But if someone is looking up how to thread a needle for leather... that should indicate that they do not know... THANK YOU 🙏
Furthur down the series, it wasn't mentioned how the shape of the thumb template is supposed to be drawn so that it will fit the shape of the thumb hole on the trank, i am having trouble on this part and would appreciate if i could get some help
Thank you so much! my TEN dollar leather thimble broke after a week of hemming. this is a life saver. your instructions are perfect for someone who has never worked with leather before
Amongst all needles for machine, which should be longest ?
How did you make your thumb?
Thank You!! Exactly the Information I needed 💜
thank you for this video. I made 2 of them. they are perfect.
Thank you so much, can i selling gloves based on your pattern ?
Can I use simple acrylic on the edge of leather?
For anyone as inept as me in freehanding shapes. Using a flexible curve ruler to shape it around the fleshy bit of the thumb and then drawing the line inside the ruler, works incredibly well for me. The shape is perfect and the same size as my measurements.
17:53 where do the 0.65 come from?
I've been looking for a good, simple pattern to do up some gloves. Found your pdf for this pattern first, then this video. Thank you. Danke. Domo arigato gozaimashita.
This is by far the best glove tutorial I’ve seen 🙌 Is there any reasoning why you make the fourchettes two pieces rather than just one long one?
Excellent tutorial for making a fitted leather thimble! I can never seem to find a well fitting thimble. This is a beautiful solution! Thank you so very much!!
Can i used regular acrylic paints? Thank you!
Hi there! Question at 19:18. You say you should add .6 to index and pinky finger, but then you add .65 to the index and only .6 to the pinky. Should this be the .65 (half of the index depth) on both of these two fingers? Also at 22:41 you've added some +'s that weren't previously explained. Are these the marks for the bottom of the knuckle like explained at 9:12? You're making these on the new lines for the fingers and moving them down a centimeter just to have excess with stitching together? Edit: I think the first set of +'s are for palm of the hand and the lower set is for the back? Thank you for color coding everything by the way!
Acrylic latex interior houspaint and chalkboard paint from Dollar Tree are both very flexible paints.
youre the only person on this large platform that is teaching this hobby in detail. Thank you
Just two days ago I was using an ill-fitting purchased leather thimble that kept wanting to fly off my finger because the base flared out. I thought “i wonder if i can make my own?” You just answered my question! Thank you so much! 😊
Were are you getting that .65 number from at 17:54?
How many yards of fabric would you say is needed to create these gloves?
I have never had a problem using acrylic paints on leather. Using a better grade of acrylic paint may make the difference. I have painted purses, wallets, and belts with no issues. It is what you do with the leather before and after you paint it that makes the difference.
how u preserve it from fading?
Thank you
Thanks for the “prep” info! I hadn’t even thought about the nap direction of the fur
Really helpful. Big fan from south korea😊😊
What are you using to prick the holes?
I love your tutorial very well explained
Could this be sewed on a machine.
Merci ❤❤
You are very thorough Thankyou verymuch! I've wanted to sew my own gloves for so long
Please madam, do you have file doc or pdf design this video?? 😁🙏,
She has it on her website
@@The_Engie thank you very much,
Merci beaucoup, je couds du cuir assez souvent mais des fois mes doigts n'aiment pas.
Thank you so much! You are a blessing. I was looking for a glove pattern drafting tutorial and I was not able to find it anywhere until I've found your videos. It was even more difficult trying to find it in my mother language...
I’ve been looking for this! Thanks
Beautiful. I actually like the coloured thread. I'll use this to make at thimble for my hand sewing 🧵
dude, where the hell did you get that 0.65 cm from!? this explanation is hard to follow because there are steps skipped. (time stamp 17:53) if you add together the final finger measurements circled (time stamp 19:33) and double them to get your hand circumference, you get 21.3 cm, which is smaller than your flat hand measurement. you're going to get a lot of people very agitated when they follow your pattern and end up with gloves that don't fit.

Здравствуйте Елизабет,, где вы взяли 0,65 см.
Great video. Can you put acrylic paint on leather that’s been dyed?
You should be able to. Try a sample and see if it works for you.
