I went through the steps and might be able to answer any questions, although I ultimately did a gofundme instead.

My question on it being a good channel to start.  One of the Youtube leather guys looks like he did a Kickstarter in 2016 and sold over 400 wallets that way but doesn't look like he has done one since.  I know you typically discount and Kickstarter takes their piece as well as the Credit Card take.   I am sure it whittles you down significantly on margin but moving 400+ wallets in a few weeks sounds like a decent volume.. no worse than selling wholesale.

Assuming I can do a wallet a day, how the hell am I going to sell 400?

definitely going to require more than 1 wallet a day as well as some help sewing..  clicker them out, skive them and lots of sewing..

I don't 'clicker, and I only handsew, on purpose! I have absolutely no desire to be a 'factory'. The very thought is disgusting.

I hand cut today and hand sew today, but definitely looking to get easier and more consistent.

35+ years and I still do it all by hand. Anything else takes the CRAFT out of it. I have a sewing machine, and it is a great place to pile things.

Maybe for you.

Not for a lot of us.
