Try Inkscape. It’s a bit laggy but it does the job

We don't really have a matching suit of armor but I felt compelled to make this and my lady diligently helped me to see it done. We used heavy veg tan and man that's a lovely leather to work with. In my experience heavier leather comes full grain and that texture and screeching sound it has gives me a high. I just dumped all pics here so you won't have to go to the site unless you want the pattern but I'll leave the video tutorial in case you're curious how it was made. Here it is

What you actually meant was that you also have a shop and Youtube channel which people should haste tov visit before Cyber week sale wears off

Just wanted to let you guys know we're running a sale in our shop. Some of you are already our clients but we wanted to make sure you all get a chance to grab something you wanted at a cheaper price.

How about this?

Thank you! We used two types of thread, yes.

I think I forgot to share this one and I just thought of doing it now. We made this for my own use actually and it's very big one. I'm a 1.90 meter tall guy and you can get an idea about the proportions by looking at the last pic in which I'm wearing it. We used pull up leather for it because of the nice effect the leather achieves when being bent and we really took advantage of this by bending all the edges. It took about 2.2 square meters to make and I don't even want to think about how much thread went in because of our poor hands not having recovered yet from all that hand stitching. If you wish to see it being made there's a video here. The pattern as usual can be found in our shop.

Thank you so much!

Hey guys! This is our latest work of which we're very proud. We went for a cute owl look and this is what came out. Here's a video of making it. The pattern as always can be found in our shop

After close to a month of trial and error, this is the latest addition to our leather work portfolio. Not much more to say other than show you how it was made. You can also grab the pattern here.

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Much appreciated

Thanks guys! It means a lot!

Presenting you with our latest work of which we're somewhat proud. You can watch it being made here

The pattern didn't fit the required file size so here it is Witcher_purse_pattern.pdf

Now this took a while to make.... Not much else I can say other than point you to the video of making it

Thank you!

Thank you! It is meant to resemble a quill so it’s mostly a design choice

I once designed a simple cylindrical pencil case which ended up holding some of our tools. This meant we still couldn't hold pencils in anything else other than jars :D so we needed something more adequate. I came up with this meanwhile and struggled a bit to implement it but I think it was worth it. You can watch it being made here

Would you like to make this? If so, use crazy horse / oil tanned. Don't forget to grab the pattern Tarnished_hip_bag_pattern_by_Leatherhub.pdf

A bag based on one of our older designs that was made to carry 17 inchers. I recently bought an M1 Mac and I was very eager to make another since I really liked the first. You can watch it being made here

It came out great and I very much appreciate the support. I presume you'll be taking a well deserved break for your hands. I surely did

Haven't posted for some time but here is some of our latest work. We used some soft .8 mm goatskin and stuffed it with a pillow. How do you like it ?

As part of our commitment to making things easier for our community, we made a bag where the knots needn't be tooled but cut and stitched instead. I once made a wallet full of Celtic motifs and it took me two days just to tool the cover whereas the same time was required for this bag to be constructed bottom up. Well perhaps the result is not as good as could have were it tooled but I think it's satisfying nonetheless. The process of making it was captured here and the pattern can be found along with many other project on our website. Thanks for the time!

I second this. I use Inkscape for patterns and all of the graphics I need like logos, watermarks etc... I find it a really pity that people avoid it in favor of AI whose interface is less intuitive and slows you down. I get it, it's meant to serve as a language in a sense so that it can continue to be industry standard but for us non professionals I think we're paying for something we don't benefit from. I think Inkscape is more similar to Corel Draw which I never used but which had I to, I'd take instead of AI at any time due to its one time payment option. I must admit that AI is faster and works better on Macs but you'll hardly notice differences in performance if you'll not be doing advanced graphic design. Lastly, I think people tried it on Windows where it sort of lacks in performance almost the same as it does on Mac OS ( slow canvas rendering, zooming and other issues ) but were you to try it on Linux ( which is also free ) its performance might impress you.
