Good to hear.

If I'm honest, a bit of leatherworking has been very cathartic lately. It's why I love this as a 'paying hobby'.

Hobby because I do it part time for enjoyment.

Paying because I get to do more stuff if someone else pays for it, and because I hope it becomes more of a full time gig some day!

Cathartic because it is simple problem solving with quick satisfaction and tangible outcomes that being people enjoyment, borne from calming methodical work.... plus you get to whack stuff with a hammer :)

Bahahahaha I like it.

People tried to tell me what parenthood was going to be like, but it was just unFATHERmable to me.

@Grumpymann and @MikeG hope you guys can follow this for now? Otherwise it will take me a fair while to get it into a printable format...

I like to cut my patterns from poster board.

Basically though, the whole thing is a big rectangle the whole width and length of the piece (585mm x 320mm).

Then a smaller rectangle inside it (495mm x 244mm) defines the width of the finished bag, and the amount that it comes in from the outer rectangle defines the bags approximate depth (38mm).

Then a triangle at the top peaks in the centre of the big rectangle, with the sides meeting the top of the smaller rectangle.
