Thanks,check my library and there's a dancing bears tote and money clip. Peace Harry -
I'm sorry you were looking at the tote. Still same Dyes. Not the acrylics. -
I use angelus dyes and acrylics . I buy from dharma trading. I use their acrylic clear finish. This belt is done with all dyes. Then Randy's saddle tan antiquing gel. Thanks Harry , Peace.

I've made a tote from 3oz. Veg. Tanned leather. I finished it with antiquing gel. It has a tooled/dyed design . I've tried neetsfoot oil in the past and it bleed through to the front and didn't look well. Tried a leather conditioner,lexol, same results. Thanks Harry you can see in the photo on the right side some discoloration caused by conditioner used on inside.

I bet she was happy with that. Nice -
I agree. You can get basic patterns online sites such as Tandy Leather. They also have videos to show you how. For garment and bag material you can use a home machine to sew with. I just posted a tote I'm working on and I'm showing the different steps. It might help. Hey send me the design and I'll make it for you. I'm retired and love projects. I just got on this site so I see your post was in July . My site is Hap's Leather, Harry Phillips. Don't get discourage, get in there and follow your dream.

Tandy has a great book that covers all styles of branding , it has good understandable illustrations. It's called Leather Braiding by Bruce Grant. About 200 pages. Very good and covers it all.
