Creative Awl what is the best weight to use on this project. I have large scraps of different weights and was wondering if some panels would be better lightweight and, if I must use heavier leather because it's all I have left, where is the best place to use that.
I absolutely love this bag! I've been wanting to get into leather crafting just because I want to make quality, timeless pieces like this one! Its beyond gorgeous
I just purchased this pattern today ~ Thanksgiving day (US ) 2021...to make for my son who is a business man and travels throughout the USA..I'm very excited to start... Thank you for this great pattern and video !!!
Nice bag and all! But the music on this video... Good Lord have mercy I had to make 3 attempts to watch this video entirely because I kept on falling asleep viciously
Absolutely gorgeous bag. I’ve reviewed this video like 6 times. Question-what leather oil and leather paste do you put on after the stain? I’m not sure what to buy. Thanks!
Creative Awl I still have one left but I don’t know a lot about tech stuff lm what you might say technically challenged. Lol I just watch TH-cam for ideas.
Love the craftsmanship. 1 small suggestion. @11:00 when you start stitching the gusset you might want to try a cross stitch instead of a saddle stitch. I still love the bag and have put it on my to do list.
Здравствуйте. прекрасная работа, и музыка отличная. Позвольте спросить, в какой программе делали дизайн сумки, выкройки. Заранее благодарю Hello. great work and the music is great. Let me ask you in which program did the design of the bag, patterns. Thank you in advance
Just got your pattern and wondering if I could use a buffalo leather that's more supple or a pull-up leather. Do you think there will be any problems making the bag with those types?
First of all, GREAT JOB! That bag is gorgeous! Totally inspirational! But does any one know how to sew an inner liner so it's just not the bare flesh side on the inside of it?
Hello, thanks for comment . Use adhesive spray on the flesh side, stick the liner and cut off all the remains. Than stitch it all like in video, good luck!
i am actually making it like creative awl described it, im using a contact cement to glue the liner material straight to the flesh side of the leather, im using bizon tix u could use barge contact cement or nation equivalent
I am busy with this beautiful bag. I just want to find out if there is a way to download the video. My workstation does not have internet and therefor I have no excess to the instructions whilst there.
Hi! Great tutorial and excellent job! Maybe in future I will make my own bag. It's very functional project. I have a question - is Fiebings Oil Dye Pro good for your technique of dyeing? Thank you for answer.
I am really battling to line up that top zipper. Is there a trick to make the 2 pieces line up? It seems to come up short at the one end all the time. Please assist. Pieter de Bruin
Hello Pieter de Bruin, In a last ditch effort in trying to battle this zipper, I wanted to ask you if Creative Awl was able to help you at all?? I’m not a beginner and I still cannot get this zipper to line up. I would love an alternative design! Were they able to help you?? Thank you so much for your time.
I purchased the pattern awhile back and first making the small version. why are holes punched in the “Flap of the the bag”and the “pocket of the bag”. If it is going to be use as a pocket should the holes be excluded from the Flap?
Looked at the video for the third time. If I wish to make it a pocket I can exclude the holes on the straight edge of the flap. Need to watch the video two or three more times.
Another fantastic video as a matter of interest how much do you sell the bags for just thinking of getting the pattern and see if I can sell one or two
Good Morning. Thanks for the response to my zipper problem. Please also send me the straight option as well. I would prefer this option though but i am battling. I am in the process of updating my old Facebook page(Steel Decor) and will get the kids to assist me. Once done I will contact you. Regards Pieter de Bruin Blixem Leather Products
@@CreativeAwl Hello, the shoulder strap pattern is on page 77-78 in a small folder of a sports bag, I don’t have it, I can’t find it. Please help me with the missing pages 77-78.
Камрад, про такую не знаю. Ноооо, я заказывал портфель в фирме "Калита-Киров" , просил скомбинировать из трёх моделей. Сделали хорошо, недорого. На сайт к ним зайди, погляди. Удачи.
@Paul Goodier I did turn it down, but thanks. The music was still noticeably loud even after. As for muting, well i like to hear the videos, otherwise i would watch silent movies. If i have to mute the video to tolerate it, then the music might be too loud.... oh wait 😊
@Paul Goodier Not sure what you mean by luck on TH-cam, but you dont need luck, you can search for what you want to watch instead of hoping it shows on your homepage, pro tip! As for not being easy to please, care to divulge the wealth of information that led you to that conclusion? I merely said the music was too loud and it took away from the awesome work he did in his video. Anothee pro tip for ya, not all criticism is meant in a negative way. I thoroughly enjoy Creative Awls videos, i just merely gave a recommendation that would make it easier for me to enjoy when im in the company of others, who unlike me, arent watching TH-cam videos at that moment. Hope that helps and feel free to divulge that staggering amount of info anytime
The music ruined the video. The sound of leather being cut, and hammer on punch etc, is really necessary. Sure is a nice looking bag but too bad the video iwas rendered unwatchable for me by the music loop.
@CreativeAwl Thanks for clearing that up. Honestly though, these type videos shouldn't have music at all or have it at a very very low volume so as not to obscure the sounds of your work. Capturing those sounds is just as important as the visual portions. Try it for yourself, watch a few asmr videos of what you do and experience it for yourself. Then look at the amount of likes on the videos where no one is talking or having music playing. That said, this of course doesn't apply to instructional videos. That's a completely different vibe....
I purchased this pattern and I am not impressed with the amount of work needed just to get the pattern ready to start on the leather. Lots of missing holes on the ends of the pages (yes, the printer was set right, not my first pattern by along shot.) Plan on spending a lot of time getting that top zipper to look and function properly. Over-all it's a nice bag but I wouldn't do it again. Be mindful not to punch holes on the top pocket flap or below it if you are leaving it as an open end pouch. The shoulder strap D-ring holders also don't have holes in the pattern for the small triangle on the folded over part . Etc. Etc.
Hello Trevor, please contact me directly and let's find a solution. I'm sure there's no missing holes, sewn it 2 times. Some printers cuts the bottom and dont print it correctly. If you want i can reassembly parts on the pages to fit to your purposes or other formats. I've mentioned about flap's holes in video which can be sewn together or just sewn as a decoratively. D-ring holders- are you sure you print that correctly?, becouse there a holes for sure in the small triangle.
Top zipper with pattern is a very poor choice of design.. Doesn't align at all. Top part Is too large and it's not working.. Design does not equate to project
Top zipper has been choosen to make it possible to sew. Nice, metal zipper won't align and cause problems on curves makin looks like the top part isnt working. Its working but flexible zipper is needed. If you would still have any problems - please shoot me a message on email or facebook.

If I were a dead cow and that'd been my hide, I would have been proud, excellent use of material
You made my day :D
Great Design and a great job. I would recommend double sided sticky tape for the zipper.
Excellent work! I’ll buy the pattern soon! What kind of glue is that??
hello, a polyuretan one
At 21:25, cannot make out how you were able to line up point 39 and get the zipper lined up with the flap and the flap ring.
the bag is very nice, I like it. could I please get a PDF pattern for it? I would like to try it myself. Thanks in advance
Sure, please check a www.creativeawl.com - there is a pattern available

For someone of your skill and not including hours worked, what are the material costs for something like this?

awesome!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Anyone know where to get hardware to make this a rolling bag with handle?

Can you recommend a chisel? Mine doesn’t line up with the holes on the pattern so I was wondering if there was one you knew would?
Its 5mm between holes. I have crazy cut which fits

Hi. Will you consider making a smaller size pattern for this? Like a weekender size. Would love to make it and to use it frequently.
Have been waiting to buy a smaller version of this pattern.
Hello, currently there is available also smaller version, please check the etsy, there is an image how it would looks like.
@@CreativeAwl thanks. Will check it out
I’m nowhere near skilled as this but I would love to attempt it. I followed the links to the pattern and couldn’t find it 😢 oh well
SUPERB !
thanks
How much did this cost to make? I would love to make something like this for me my brother and my dad
You need about 1,6 sq meter of leather so multiply it by your leather cost
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What do you do with the inside? Do you just leave it as it is?
Im leaving it as is it, I like raw style. You can take a any lining amd glue it to the flesh side before stitching.
Will these patterns print from a normal size printer?
A4 is British size. If your in us any printer place can print it for you. Need larger size.
