The last link has an excel sheet for download with the formula!

Thanks for this SamB :-)

Funny you should ask SamB. I am at the moment battling with my computer to post the templates. for some reason Safari crashes when I try to, anyway i will persevere. I haven't got round to finishing a full pattern with instructions and want to share them.

May have to make another topic.

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.

It's working now :-)

Here they are. Hope they are useful.

If anyone uses them and has time it would be great to hear how you got on.

Best wishes.

Hi All,

I'm curious.

Has anyone made use of these templates?

How did you get on?

Best wishes

Looks good...alot better than the one I just tried making (my first attempt).  I've been playing with this one trying to get the bugs out of it...it is actually a pattern from an al stohlmans book.

Hi LoneWolf1973,

The Al Stohlman pattern was the inspiration/starting point for the templates I posted above. Love the original pattern but I found I had to tweak the hole positioning a bit. Definitely worth the effort though due to success selling both the original purses in two sizes and the cards one too.

They are a great canvas for personalising with stamps and carving. So great practice pieces with the relatively small amount of leather involved. Hell I can gush about these patterns all day.

Two things have helped me when making them.

1 start stitching (or lacing?) in the middle of each of the runs. This is probably more complicated when lacing rather than stitching as it means you have to lace backwards for the second half. However when stitching it helps to keep the purse balanced as it comes together rather than the stitching pulling a side one way or the other.

2 if stitching rather than lacing make a loop of thread to pull the thread end back through the inside of the stitches to better secure the last stitch/knot.

I haven't tried a second one yet but I had noticed that I will have to modify it.  I am not sure if it is me or the pattern but it did not go together correctly.  Like you said it is a good inspiration.  I have taken another pattern from that book for a nail clipper case and working on modifying is to a flash drive case.  The other one I have done out of that book is a knife sheath and it came out great...allot better than the kit.
