    As a chair I can understand, but it's bad taste to put your feet on such a beautiful work!

    Hi LoneWolf, I think I can get you that image, but it will have to be tomorrow. I'll PM you, is that ok? Sandra

    It seems to be genuine, the one you received. But why don't you contact the manufacturer? It's be best way to clarify your doubts. Their website http://www.herder-solingen.de/index.htm

    Thanks for the info Thor! It was one of the first sites I found when I became interested in leatherwork. It has valuable info and it would be sad if it ended!

    Hello Windrider, See if this video on YT can help you. This spanish artisan shows how to bookbind from scratch. Even if its spanish I'm sure you'll understand

    Thank you for the pattern JimDavies! As usual you have very nice videos and patterns. If I'm not mistaken, this is the Biker wallet in Japanese style.

    Already registered too! It's a nice way to have some online classes. And the site is looking very nice

    Makes sense in my head as well!

    Fudge is beautiful! Everything takes practice and most of all, learning from our own mistakes

    You have some nice works, very "naïf style", the painting it is! I like in particular the vertical messenger bags, and the colored wallets. The second one is just great! Is that Fudge wearing a colar?

    I had to edit a pdf, the pattern or the measurements are not mine as I said before . I just forgot to correct the original. In fact, not too many zeros, just lacking a "." before them
  14. SamB
    Thor, I think I know what you mean, 1600 what? I'll correct it
  15. SamB
    Those are not my measurements. Mine are colored. But they seem right. In fact, when I made this purse I still didn't have the pattern I've uploaded, only one similar to your link, and then I just cutted the drawing and enlarged it until it seemed ok to me. My purse is about 1cm smaller than the pattern in the link. But why do you ask?

    Hi, I added some instructions to the pattern that's bellow. See if you understand my instructions! This is the pattern for Thor's first link! folded purse.pdf folded purse.pdf

    Hi Lorraine, I've made one of this purses when I started leatherwork, about a year and a half ago. I remember I had some difficulty too, understanding the "construction" of the purse. What is your problem exactly? Maybe I can help. Sandra

    Hi Bob, Depending on the size of what I want to color, if it's a really tiny space, I find the brushes that women use to make drawings in her fingernails very useful. they're tiny and cheap. Usually I use number "0" to "000", the smallest I've found. And I try to begin painting in the center of my drawing and then spread the color to the edges! Sandra

    You can do that as well! And put one of the division stitches matching the ornamental piece outside.

    Hi Indidana! Depending on the size of the interior pockets she wants, you can take advantage of the ornamental piece of leather in the middle of the bag!
  21. SamB
    Cool! Glad you made it! Thanks for sharing it! I might try it, and then I'll let you know and post pics Sandra

    You're using an Apple PC? Can't help you much there But are you trying to upload as an image file, or pdf? Or zipped? If you're trying to upload an image file, maybe it's crashing because of the file size. Maybe you should convert it to pdf or zip it.

    You're welcome Gillian! And how did it go? Have you decide to sell the pattern?

    Hi! I've bought a pattern from this site once, and I had no problem unzipping it. Sometimes it happens to be unable to unzip a file, and then I use a small program called "7-zip". It's free. Just be careful when you install it, to just install the program and not any toolbars or free programs that it may offer. Sandra

    Hi Indidana. Why don't you try the other way around? I mean, use the wood burner first and then paint it. In the burned areas, thin the paint (you used acrylic paints, right?) just to give it a slight coloration. And by experience, I know that the paint (I used dye, though) won't stick the same way as in the rest of the leather. I don't know if you're experienced or not with burning leather (I'm not just made a few tries), but just in case check this free tutorial by Lora s. Irish: http://www.lsirish.com/tutorials/pyrography-tutorials/pyrography-leather-journal/ The only problem is that you'll have to start a new case. And the filigree is a great idea! Sandra
