Members RedDun Posted March 6, 2018 Members Report Posted March 6, 2018 Bags are on my list of "I want to learn how to..." I have made one really rough one out of some very ugly leather which is discouraging, but yours is GORGEOUS! Love the bleed knot as well, really makes it stand out. Quote
Members JeannieH Posted March 6, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2018 Thank you! Don’t give up! Each bag gets better because you learn what not to do on each one lol! I look at bags every time I go to the store..I take pictures of the high end bags and figure out what makes it so special. Mostly it is the name attached..but being very picky at how your stitching looks and other things that others wouldn’t know...makes for a well made bag. I’m a tomboy and never cared about purses lol..now I can’t keep my eyes off of them! You set your mind to making bags like the luxury brands..and you will do it! I challenged myself to skip the baby steps and go for the mountain...only obstacle I have is not having the money to get the some tools I need and the fine leathers. Keep it up and you will get to where you want to be in no time! Quote
Members JeannieH Posted March 10, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2018 Wanted to share this site with you guys. Mainly for the thread it sells from Japan. It’s called Vinymo Mbt. Google it, it’s awesome! You use for machine and handstitching. So for someone like me who does both on my bags, I don’t have to worry with mismatching threads. It doesn’t fray like every other thread I have used. It goes through the needle like butter lol! Just lightly wax and go! For machine just thread and go. The owner of the store, Bill is super friendly. He is based in Atlanta, Ga. He sells high end leather cuts, tools, supplies etc. here is a link for you to get 10% off your purchase! http://i.refs.cc/i95g1PzD?u=1520691892201 Quote
alpha2 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 Have you used any of that thread yet? Looks very interesting. That site has some other interesting tools and such also. Thanks for the link! Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.

Free shipping over 6 bucks I believe..maybe 7. This thread is beautiful. I posted pics of a bag I made. I will paste the link. Oh this is the topic with the bag lol. So that bag pictured is all Vinymo thread in size 8. Quote
Members AdamPCain Posted March 10, 2018 Members Report Posted March 10, 2018 I use 92 size thread is the #8 the same size didn't see a size chart on there site. The color choices they have are nice and it's priced pretty good. Quote
Members JeannieH Posted March 10, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2018 No number 8 is smaller. You can order a sample book. Here is a pic of it. Quote
