Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted November 5, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted November 5, 2012 There's a lot of Esteban Gonzalez listed by google.....what I'm asking specifically is this: Does the site where you saw the patterns state "here are some free patterns for you to use and redistribute." or are they images you captured?

Contributing Member rdb Posted November 5, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted November 5, 2012 Went to his site (The link is on my other computer...google estaban gonzalez with the word leather). He has many free patterns to download. There are some for purchase also. And services to develop patterns for your own. However the sign up form doesn't work for me. Once you put in USA, the state box doesn't show, and won't let me finish the registering. So....if your offer is still available, please send me the patterns too! sales@rockyriverleather.com Web page Facebook

Members DebHop Posted November 5, 2012 Author Members Report Posted November 5, 2012 I stumbled on this site late one nite (googling 'purse patterns' in the images site) and couldn't beleive there wasn't a hook to it. and yes the site is buggy when going through the registration but I futzed and fenagled with it until I finally had a userID and password. I used my real name, and primary email address, and I read everything on the site to see if there were any restrictions to the free downloads - couldn't find any. I DL'd a few patterns, received confirmation and a zero invoice. So, I went back in and downloaded most of the free patterns. Then I discovered I didn't have a program to open the .dxf files. I don't have any CAD/CAM software. I went back to the web to find a program to convert the files to something I could use. Found a freeware conversion program that would let me export them to my Photo software or PDF. PDF seemed to work best and the files are smaller. Meanwhile, I got an email from the site thanking me for my business. It was a little labor intesive exporting all those file to PDF but I think the patterns are great. I am a stoned cold novice at leathercraft but I've learned so much from you guys I wanted to reciprecate and share the treasures. I thought with the holidays getting near some of you would find something you could use. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you talented and creative folks do with them.
Members Leatherimages Posted November 5, 2012 Members Report Posted November 5, 2012 One presumes the sizing is left up to the maker. And therefore, the proportions of all the pieces. Is that how you see it? Back to the bench, Paul "When you finally get your wings, don't complain about the wind in your face."

Members cajun Posted November 6, 2012 Members Report Posted November 6, 2012 I would like a copy of the patterns also, I have lived in Spain and my wife is from Barcelona, maybe we could help with the translation, it may take a little time as my wife has had several strokes and does not move to fast and get tired pretty fast, but she is willing to help. My address is: bparrie@bellsouth.net Thanks,Bill
