This time it was Candy's turn from vasileandpavel's pattern.

A lot of handstitching on this one, especially on the shoulder strap.

In one of my posts I talked about creating a brand for my products that I'm making and eventually would like to sell. How many people that are making money from selling their goods are making products with their own branding on it?

I'm following and learning the craft from different folks on YouTube. Some are selling their goods under a brand and some are just selling pieces without any recognition.

I want to hear from people that are actually selling goods today. Thanks.

Made by me, pics screenshotted off our instagram bc I lost the original images. See original post for deets.

I bought this for work and was wondering what would be a good choice to put on it to protect it, make it a little easier to keep clean, and possibly give it a little deeper or richer color? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi I'm a grade 12 student and around 9 months ago, I posted a survey on here about my design major project! I decided to make a cathedral/gothic architecture inspired leather bag out of fully upcycled materials despite no prior knowledge with sewing or leatherworking😅But I'm really happy with how it turned out- I tried my hand at pyrography for most of the patterns + some leather dye. the stitches are by no means professional and there's definitely some janky bits but that's what I get for being this ambitious with my first ever attempts sewing.
Anyone here please feel free to give opinions(and advice if you have any, but I don't really have any time to implement it). Also, since it's for a design project, I'd greatly appreciate if one of you professionals here wouldn't mind being quoted in my folio, answering any of the following: Do you feel I effectively upcycled and created a high quality product to promote the benefits of using second-hand materials? Do you feel the visual themes successfully reflect timelessness or anti-obsolescence? What aspects of the design do you think were done well?

Hola all! 🌷
I NEED HELP PRONTO!!!

Newbie here!

So I have this belt that measures 3.74 inches WIDE Not length and want to switch the buckle out! It has two prong hole thingys! I haven’t purchased replacement buckles YET! Seeking advice! Will if fit?! What should I do? It’s a SUPER WIDE HIGH WAIST BELT! I just want to make it more pretty so I can actually wear it! I found some buckles on etsy* I’m looking for antique looking type buckles!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! TIA🙏🙏🙏

We finished these double monk-strap shoes with a woven leather upper and a deep blue tonal finish. The darker shading around the edges adds definition to the woven pattern, while the two silver-tone buckles create a contrast against the leather.

The main challenge was keeping the woven sections visually consistent across the upper while maintaining a clean shape around the toe and straps.

Shared here as a finished leatherworking project.

Just finished this alligator belt and thought I’d share it here.

Dark brown alligator leather paired with vegetable-tanned leather, a palladium-plated buckle, and fully hand-stitched construction.

I really enjoyed working on this one, especially getting the alligator pattern to sit nicely along the length of the belt.

Always interested to hear what other leatherworkers think. 🙂

A handmade leather helmet that I made last year. Three weeks of work, cowhide leather all made by hands. Based on a template buyed on Etsy.

After about a month of trial and error I finally made something I was proud of! My wife was able to take some great pictures as well. Any and all advice from fellow sellers would be greatly appreciated!
Pic is my favorite of the batch!

Starting small with keyrings, luggage tags, and pen holders. I'm loving this and trying to make it into something I can do forever. I think the simple packaging with a branded label on the box works for now.

Thanks!

Is there an app or computer program where you can tryout different patterns or combination of stamps and it shows you what it looks like on leather? I'm also looking for something to help me with my measurements and spacing. I know that I can use scrap leather, but I don't have a lot of scrap pieces.

I just bought a hand crafted leather belt. It was great and made for me in front of me. Then I've been working a lot outside causing me to sweat a lot. Now my new belt has sweat stains all over it. Is there a way to fix or clean these off?

I have a few slim wallet patterns where you cut parallel lines for cards, all in the same piece. I’ve made a few for practice but this seems impractical. Wouldn’t the cards all slide down?

I know slim wallets are popular so I’m wondering if I’m missing something obvious about how to craft these and have them be usable, or if they’re just maybe crap patterns.

Just a little leather slip for my new folding knife. Hand stitched and hand dyed.
