A saddle stitch will save you time, effort, and prove to last longer than the single stitch you are doing. Its also fairly easy to learn and apply to the same hole layout you are already using.
Lovely bag, my only critiscm would be that personally I would use a two needle stitch which would make the stitching much stronger in the long run, but otherwise nice bag.
Thanks for the video. I really love your design and the type of leather you chose for the project. May I ask: how would you incorporate an inlay in this bag? Do you have any thoughts on that? Or maybe a video? Thank you and greetings from Germany. Marco
I don't have plans for this unfortunately, but it's something I should probably do. But most of the work I do is off the top of my head, measuring as I go. I don't really go in with a plan, except for the main body sizes as you saw in the video. I can tell you those sheets of paper were 12x48" and 24x36", to give you a bag that's 12x12x24". The body straps were then 2x40", and the handles were however long you'd like them to be.
Absolutely awesome, my life goal to be able to make bags like this, what's the best way I can get started in leathercraft? Is there a go-to resource to learn?
There are some great TH-camrs that explain tools, like Little King Goods, Corter Leather, and Whit + Parker Leatherwork. For me, I just looked at how bags or wallets or whatever are constructed, and mimicked that to understand the process. After that, you change things to make a product more useful.
Wonderful! I'm trying to convince myself that I don't NEED to make a bag for my trip this month.... but if it's that straightforward, maybe I could. I had to laugh though; one of the videos I watched immediately before this specified that one must be sure to leave the zipper open while stitching, or else it will be difficult to open and turn inside out.🙃 Point illustrated.
Haha yes, I was definitely not paying attention! Sometimes you just zone out! I recommend making one. This took about 16 total hours of work, so not a short time. But completely worth it.
I’ve never done it I’m 16 I do everything myself for instance I own several engines I’m a mechanic certified I’m a welder certified as well Ive got a lot of certifications lol I own a lot of tools a anvil hundreds of screwdrivers when a hammer brakes a make a handle from scratch out of wood I don’t buy one i would would suggest getting some braided fishing line it’s as thin as thread and will hold 60 pounds I put fishing line in a regular singer sewing machine that holds 80 pounds before it breaks it is indestructible compared to thread and actually cheaper than most thread and comes in more colors than you would imagine
Just eyeballing it here but looks like 4-5oz medium tempered oil-tanned leather. Any thicker or firmer and turned seam construction becomes awfully tough
а по мне , так хрень. ботан не совпал с основной деталью, шов кривой как бык поссал. форму не держит одним словом говно! прошу прощения за резкие слова!

I hope that advice helps im going to try my luck with leather as soon as I fishing building my new work shop
Can I get the pattern??
Hi. Nice video. What leather specifically did you use? I know it is from Springfiled Leather store.
Beutiful bags
Hi. Can I buy a pattern from you and a video lesson on assembly ?
What thickness leather did you use?
Just eyeballing it here but looks like 4-5oz medium tempered oil-tanned leather. Any thicker or firmer and turned seam construction becomes awfully tough
What kind of leather did you use?
Interested in a bag by any chance do you take orders?
Leather oz?
А можно выкройку и видео курс по сборке ?
Where can I find the pattern?
🙏👍👍
ASMR means ?
Why nobody sews lining inside these leather bags? This doesn't seem very practical.
ASMR with random hammer noises
а по мне , так хрень. ботан не совпал с основной деталью, шов кривой как бык поссал. форму не держит одним словом говно! прошу прощения за резкие слова!
Not very ASMR with the pounding of the hammer. :) maybe a small soundtrack would help that portion. :)
WE CANT SE EVERY THING , CAMERA IS SO FAR WAY
Never close your zipper before sewing your bag 😂😂😂 rookie mistake
U are OK at the craft.. Definitely not the best but pretty decent.. Maybe one day u will improve and get even better
Don't be a douche bag.
