Wow. Very nice. Thank you for sharing

Who doesn't use their belly as a third hand? Perfectly natural. Great work my friend :D

[@cindygalle7286]

Articulate, informative and well executed, Thank you! I wish all tutorials and content were as enjoyable to watch as we learn.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Much appreciated!

[@sammcrawford1]

Often times I am discouraged by long videos, for fear that it’s over complicated. Your videos are fascinating and so informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this. *Subscribed* CanNOT wait for more!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Thank you!

[@cherikuser335]

This is one of the absolute best tutorial videos ever. It’s one thing to be creative but to teach effectively is another. I’m new to the laser world and haven’t really experimented with leather. Now I feel more confident that I can pull something like this this off. Thank you

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Wow, thank you!

[@Dina2866]

@@ThisIsHowIMadeIt absolutely agree!!!

[@davebauerart]

Nice work. Excellent problem solving to design the models. It’s functional and your designs look good too.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Thank you!

I grew up in Cape Coral! (far away in Oregon now.) I miss that place every day! I love this purse! You make such awesome stuff! Thank you for your videos!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Awesome! We love it here!

[@CathyBelcher]

Great video babe! I think I need a few more…and a bigger closet!!!!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Can I design a “man bag” first?

[@susanemb]

Very cool designs!! I like the three panel with the Cape Life logo and red leather - beautiful!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Thanks Susan!

[@donnaf3156]

This is beyond amazing! I have to go leather shopping…I cannot wait to make it..you make it look so easy!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

The first one you do will be more challenging, but it will work. It’s easy for me now…

[@GertieBirdieJems]

So wonderful of you to share your project. Its amazing. Thank you!

[@ofeliarangel117]

Gorgeous pattern. Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Shawnbbeckner]

This is really cool nice job how you brought it to be more flexible in the software the 3 panel is really cool.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

My wife has like 20 of these now and I keep looking for a pattern, but she uses both the three and the two…. :)

[@kimberleecreek7276]

I'm super excited to give this file a try! Got to get the leather and snaps ordered!

[@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy]

Just bought my bundle file for the Glowforge. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Very welcome!

[@jenniferk8623]

Wow, just absolutely amazing!

[@sarahsworld-2240]

Please do more Cricut design bags so fun with different styles thank u ☺️

[@andreathompson-bg4hl]

Cool

[@treywalker8344]

Where have you been 🤣? I'm glad to see you back and hope all is well. Great video as expected.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Thanks! I got stuck managing a home remodel :)

[@fancymccoy8960]

I have a flux beamo laser. Do you have any files available that would work for that. It has an 8×10 inch bed

[@robertsilveirars]

I loved your projects. I live in Brazil and I have a laser machine with a 16.142x16.42 inch cutting area. What project do you recommend so that I can cut it on my machine? Grateful for the attention.

[@rondamcewen6802]

Absolutely Love this. Question .... did you laser your straps too?

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

I did. Any strap will work. I even bought some on Amazon. The files for the straps I used are in the pack as well.

[@MountainBabyRoses]

Great video! First time watching. Do you have a video on what laser you use? How do you laser and deal with the smell? 😅 Also what kind of leather is this? Some are toxic in a laser machine.

[@stephentesta7064]

Fantastic video, thank you. If you don't mind me asking, what would you price these at for selling.

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

I think it is so situational - location sensitive - and also what you do to customize the item (engraving designs - etc)... Could be anywhere from double the leather cost to much more??

[@jarredpiri364]

are possible to get a free pattern of this one for me to download...thanks

[@silvijakelemen8505]

Would this template work with faux leather?

[@thea.d.d.hippie280]

do you think the leather could be pressed as you do in the video with the pressure from a standard heat press?

[@MenbereMamo-gy9jw]

I need to know how to make it Could you help

[@stevepate3864]

since i don't have a laser cutter how about selling pre cut leather ready to make a bag

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

I’ve thought about it…

[@cher-inque5201]

Hi, i bought the 2 panel collection from you on etsy, i’ve used it to cut on my cricut maker. I’m interested in the 3 panel collection but it looks like the width base might not fit on my cricut mat. Is it designed to work on the cricut?

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Only the 2 panel designed for the glowforge and cricut will fit…. The 3 panel ones are too large for the mat…

[@lisainman8974]

Hi, love this and would like to try it! How many square feet are needed for the largest bags? And how much extra should be allowed for mistakes?

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

really depends on the model... For each, in the PDF and in the pictures of the listing there is a chart for the size of each panel...

[@lisainman8974]

Also, what kind or brand of laser cutter do you recommend for leather? There are so many out there I can't figure out which ones might work (mid-range for price).

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

@@lisainman8974 I have an omtech co2 laser. Almost all co2 lasers will cut leather well. Really depends on the size you want….

[@lindascraftsandthings915]

Very nice! Is it possible to cut the smallest size bag by hand, what it the softest leather you can use to make this purse that would still keep its shape, and what tools would you recommend to cut out the shapes by hand? I don't have a laser and don't plan on getting one, but I really would like to make one of these bags. Thank you!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

You could print the pdfs out and do it by hand. Someone over at the Etsy shop did it. Said it took a couple of hours. I did one partially because of a misprint. I used an exacting blade and some small chisels to cut out the slots precisely. For the small bag, maybe 2oz leather?

[@lindascraftsandthings915]

@@ThisIsHowIMadeIt thank you. Approximately how much leather would I need to get to make the small bag, and I assume the leather needs to be in a continuous piece? Thanks again.

[@user-hh1gh6yo8d]

Интересная модель, какая цена в долларах США , средняя величина ?🔥

[@tradercharlene]

Where do you buy your leather?

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Not one place. A lot from Weaver leather. The leather in most of the samples is from Tandy. I buy from Amazon, and even from local stores like hobby lobby.
