mikesc Posted September 22, 2019 Report Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) AH..it was the brown that made me think that, I had a few Akais in the brown wood finish cabinets..( but they had "toggle levers" where you have made round dials )..and some Revox's and Sony's..Grundig reel to reel I never had, don't think there were many in the UK at that time..except maybe at the BBC.. I had a look at your site ( from your watermarks in the photos ) , beautiful work :) The camera case looks "adult" :) Superb designs all of them, extremely good use of contrast stitching and shape..Do you make items fro sale or just for promoting the patterns ?..I'd think you'd have plenty of buyers ( at whatever you asked for the price , for the finished items ) if you can get some media exposure..fashion magazine sites, celebrity use etc. Oh ..and excellent photography.. :) Edited September 22, 2019 by mikesc Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Thank you, I really appreciate your nice words! I don't have the time for commissions even though I couldn't avoid two orders for the tote bag. I was to vain and made the imprudence to post it on my wallets page and two ladies jumped me lol. As for making patterns, a friend actually got me into this and I took it as a challenge. He since then dropped out and I caught the taste for it. I would be very grateful and content if people would sell what they make using these patterns although that remains to be seen I guess. Sorry you had to distinguish the website from the watermark but I don't know the rules of the community and I wouldn't want to look like I'm spamming so I didn't post a link to it.

mikesc Posted September 22, 2019 Report Posted September 22, 2019 It was not a problem for me to distinguish the site from the watermarks on the photos..I was pleasantly surprised that someone who did such excellent work had thought to water mark their photos subtly..another nice professional touch ..won't entirely stop people from using your photos..but it helps.. Re "spamming" ? I certainly would not consider it spamming if you were to put a link to your site in a "sig file" that would accompany each of your posts..many people do just that..It is not my site ( it is Johanna's ) I certainly do not pretend to speak for "The LeatherLady", if she were not happy with a link to your site in your "sig" I have no doubt she would tell you.. I think excellence should be encouraged..I can post a link to your site https://www.leatherhubpatterns.com/ for those who have not yet read your watermark..

I really appreciate your well disposition and help sir. I come with a bad experience from Reddit where I thought I’d be helping by posting and mentioning my shop with their predefined ‘Pattern’ flair. After about two tedious hours of politely arguing with the mods who seemed absolutely unreasonable, I ended up with a ban. I mainly post on Facebook where group admins encourage self promoting and I naively thought that every community moderators would act in the same manner. I’m very glad to find that people here are welcoming and supporting. Quote Pattern maker at LeatherHub
