Leather Stitching Tutorial with FREE Pouch Pattern

[@dimitrischas6082]

The fact you give free patterns and teach some things for leathercraft makes you one of the best.

[@zedsyzygy205]

I like his "There are many Tutorials out there but you are watching mine"...

[@crazy12angel]

Free pattern and amazing Tutorial and someone DISLIKES IT?! Tony, YOU MADE IT! HAHAHA

[@davidbrayton1143]

Haters gonna hate. I, on the other hand, downloaded the plan and am working on it right now! Thank you!

[@TheEudaemonicPlague]

Amazing, isn't it, what some people can actively decide to dislike? I only found Tony's channel a couple of days ago, but I've already recognized that he's one of the best teachers, hands down, I've ever run across in a long life. He could teach teachers how to be teachers.

[@WeekendBuilds]

Seriously, you keep killing it. Not only do you have great patterns, but you're teaching, and keep putting more stuff out. Not to mention your free patterns are actually free. I'm very impressed with you.

[@bobbibuttons8730]

I can’t imagine getting my patterns from anywhere else. I look at the first bag that I made and I cringe. I was so proud of it. There’s no comparison to the items I make now and the thing that’s made the difference is the stitching. It’s much better now. Even for someone with visual difficulties like I have, Tony’s patterns are a delight to work with.

[@MountainFisher]

I used Adobe, but no matter what I do I cannot get the pattern to print and keep the second page of the pattern on the page. The top of the biggest prints right on the holes. I cannot no matter what I do get it to print the whole pattern without shrinking the 5cm square to 4.8. Can anyone help me?

[@andreatthatsme]

Tony... one thing you forgot. If your edges are not straight, your stitch line wont be straight. So its important to make sure to cut evenly for straight edges. Another set of helpful tools, if people don't have the ones you mentioned, are a corked back metal ruler and scratch awl. This can help align the stitching line. 😉👍

[@Taurusus]

I always see warnings about things you can *only do* if you're using veg-tan, but no KZbinrs ever seem to say anything about chrome-tan. That's pretty much all I have access to right now, is there a good way to shape chrome-tan leather for bag gussets and such? That's my next project, but the leather I have is shockingly rigid, so I haven't been game to mess around with it too much.

[@eb991]

I do the same water technique Tony does with VegTan and it works well, mind, not perfect but it’s doable ! Never a problem with re-tan ( I.E. Latigo) either, actually works great with Latigo, just watch for color transfer when wet!

[@TheAtarashiiKaze]

What sort of lead paint licking troll clicks thumbs down for a free tutorial WITH a free pattern?

[@DieselpunkRo]

I can give you names ;) haters gonna hate. And that’s how you know you made it

[@TheAtarashiiKaze]

@@DieselpunkRo I would say that I believe you have made it. Life being what it is, that just means the next level is ready for you to climb

[@kathycabrera9844]

A jealous person would give a thumbs down

سلام الگوهای حود را برایم بفرستید در ایران کیف درست کنم 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@denellequalls3286]

Thank you! I am just learning about this craft. Where can I purchase good quality leather?

[@casefair1]

Tony, you not only create the most wonderful builds, you share your techniques with your "clients". We cannot thank you enough for your cleaver ingenuity and caring personality. Thank you so very much!!!!!

[@Momo_Kawashima]

Only got one problem: I don't know where to find leather and money to buy it Edit: Dieselpunkro: *leaves a free pattern to let people learn how to stitch* Me: oh yeah *grabs the pattern* mine *runs away laughing dementially while thinking how to make other patterns reusing, resizing and modifying the ones from the pouch*

[@rafaelgarcia-lf7qo]

Why you don't use glue? Can i use glue after the stitching is made? Or the final purpose will not need any glue at all?

[@Torenth1]

Auto-captioning needs a little work...Unless it's correct, in which case, where do I get "5 to 6 ounce vegetable thermal elephants"?

[@hopeindirect4165]

Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.

[@saganmay7493]

every time i am making his stuff i listen to Brothers of Metal and Unleash the Archers, the gf thinks i am silly but now i can say i am not the only one rocking out to metal while leather crafting!!!!

[@krisCrashTV]

I bought a shoe pattern (in a local shop) and was left with just text instructions, it was awful! Sooo decided I should look into your patterns instead. I then proceeded to make this bag while ignoring most of the instructions ;) I don't care about making it perfect and some things may be different, but some of these things do not communicate well in text.

[@paularriola3572]

Thanks! I made it today. I added a couple of D-loops on the side so it can be used as a cross body strap pouch as well. Great pattern.

[@ABCRK18]

For the frame closure bag when you say 7 x 12 inches is that when the frame is open? or closed?

[@andyshields5935]

Going to try this using chisel prongs and hand stitching, should be OK, since ill be using 6mm or 3mm spacing and tiger thread. Probability add some shoulder straps and have my daughter or wife use it. If i have to make more, no problema, printing out the templates using 11x8.5 avery labels, sticking them on poster board, and bingo, instant templates. Maybe and idea for some people..good luck

[@dbirdez]

Great videeo!!!!! I got a couple of laughs --- 65 dislikes ,wow . a dislike needs an explanation !!! Then for some reason close caption was on " i used 5-6 oz. vegetable thermal elephant"

[@TheGarrettEStroup]

Hey buddy! I can't seem to find the hardware kit for this in your link? Thanks again for the free pattern, and for the other quality patterns I have purchased from you!

[@hygienica1246]

Well kudos to you Tony, can you tell us from where are you getting those beautiful leathers?

[@johnnyc.5979]

I made this. Came out great, but one of my rivets was not centered, that was my fault. I still like this pouch, fits well and will be great for hiking. I used thick 2mm veg tan that I dyed black. Was hard to shape, but I got it to work. This was practice before I make the big bag from the pattern I bought from Tony. Here's the link to the image. ibb.co/5spgJp1

[@vortex514]

You're awesome Tony! Ever since I started working with your patterns my skills have increased dramatically! From sewing to being able to layout my own patterns. You're skills and instruction are phenomenal. Thank you sir for inspiring me to delve even deeper into a craft I love.

[@erwinkorthouwer2069]

Thanks you for the use of the pattern. Is it oke if I rebuild it to a bigger bag with a zipper on top and 2 small pockets with zippers for personal use only? When it is ready how can I show met result? Finally my goal is to make a backpack of it with 2 compartements. Keep up the good work, Gr. Erwin

[@Genxisthebest]

I like your sense of humor I get it and thank you for the freebie.

[@adammacpherson8465]

Hi! New here but have been watching for a little bit. Love what you do Tony. I can not seem to find this pattern. May I have some help? Cheers

[@skiddrowe9104]

Hello, Mr. Tony, You're a great teacher and you make it quite evident that you have at least one child because of your approach of this tutorial the way you did. You're great!!!!

[@stephenmaniloff8493]

Why are you not using a saddlers awl to make your holes along with a space marker and a channel gouge ...No pre punching also..This is based on my 40 years of leather experience..

[@eddietowers5595]

HEEEEYYY! I never saw a video of your leather "stitching pony" vise, that's a quick cool way to hold leather together. Can you talk more about that in your next Q&A?

[@BINDRUNE]

i like it. can you possibly share a link to it or show how it's constructed?

[@马思聪-j4q]

Sorry the pattern is gone? Can you fix the download link? Thank you!

[@patriots0416]

I’m curious as to why you don’t use glue to help hold things in place while you sew them? Not a criticism, your work is beautiful.

[@maykazelka]

The automatic caption subs say "vegetable thermal elephants" :D instead of veg tan leather

[@combichristed]

Hey Tony! Love your work man, one of your pouches (with little bottles) is what got me into leather working couple of years back. Could you make a video on how you are selecting leather type/thickness for a project? What different types and sizes are best for, what is the most universal size and what to look for when ordering leather. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@kondwanichisulo5558]

What about if you're using faux leather because authentic leather is super expensive where i am.

[@kjrleatherworx]

Thank you Tony, my biggest fault is to rush the hole punching so mistakes ocur with it there, I am slowly learning to overcome some of my faults. Thanks for the pattern.

[@patriciabueckert1077]

Hi Tony , thanks for the video, do you backstitch at the beginning of your line of stitching

[@Cooleemeeedd]

Thank you SO MUCH, Tony! I have been making leather stuff for many years, but I still learned a lot from you and I love the pattern! THANK YOU!!

[@EdLudington]

Something isn't working for the [free] pattern link... is there another location it can be retrieved?

[@luisbirrueta2528]

Hello Tony awesome free patterns can u give away the one with the pattern the one with the bottle pouch and thanks for the awesome videos

[@lievesimons8893]

Hello, another awesome pattern, and even for free, thank you. Keep up the good work. A question : what kind of thread do you use ?

[@hugothebear]

Maybe I missed it but exactly how do you secure the last stitch in a line.... ? I see you burn off the thread ends but can’t see what you do to secure the last stitch to stop it coming loose.

[@АлексАлинов]

Thank you very much)very interesting!

[@ungeimpftundunbeugsam-dasb5162]

Danke für die kostenlose Schnittmuster und das Video zur Fertigung des Projektes👍. Leider kann ich nicht so Englisch, schad. Nähen Sie die Sattlernaht mit Knoten oder ohne Knoten???

[@dmk3account684]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have watched others but they make them much more complicated than they need to be. I am almost done with this bag, just waiting on the hardware. Thank you, it's not perfect yet but my stitching is much much better.

[@kargandarr]

Inkscape, free vector editing software, will also edit a pdf file.

[@donthoms]

Thanks again, Sensi Tony!! 😊

[@LouisNavor]

If i wanted to dye this piece, do i dye before or after putting it together? Or is this strictly for undyed veg tan leather?

If you have a VPN open the site with that. He has mentioned that his website host has blocked some countries.

[@TarasAsmolovsky]

Liesha thank you so much for help🤗

[@cbcothren]

why did you turn the seam inward to stitch the top piece, then outward to stitch the bottom piece?

[@slappymchappy]

I notice that you do not use glue on your patterns could you please explain why??

[@gaela2659]

What are the final measurements of the pouch?

[@shirleymalar2773]

Thanks for this very informative stitching video! I especially enjoyed the close-up video in 'real time' when you started stitching. Also, summarizing all the important elements of stitching required for an attractive stitch-line before you started was helpful in knowing what to watch for. Thanks for the cute little pouch pattern too!

[@wendyb9923]

where can we buy the leather? is there a thickness gauge we can buy?

[@jmikeanaya5520]

Way too much yakking to keep me interested

[@michaelrodriguez6210]

I recently ordered some veg tanned leather, and it wasnt quite what I expected. It's very stiff and smooth/glossy. I made a plague doctor mask with leather I got off of Amazon, and it was very soft and pliable, also it was a matte black color. Would you consider doing a video on different types of leather? Because I would like to order a bulk amount of that soft leather but I dont know how to find it. All I can see from the description on Amazon is "genuine leather". Loved the video, and the bag you made looks solid, I hope you keep up the good work!

[@MrSqu1nty]

As a note, "genuine leather" is the lowest grade. I'm not saying don't buy it. I don't have your wallet. But just don't expect it to be the best, it will take a little more work to turn out nice, or maybe not that good looking. Voice of expensive experience. Consider it practice for the Horween side you use one day, and good luck!

[@michaelrodriguez6210]

@@MrSqu1nty I understand, but for masks this kind of leather worked better than this oak veg tan that I recently bought. Good for hats and bags, not so great for masks. And the softer kind I'm thinking of actually cost me more at $60 for 4ft² of material.

[@eb991]

Sounds like you used a soft chrome tan, soft to medium hand! Tandy has basic differences in leather and their respective definitions! It’s worth a screen shot!

Is it not free anymore?)))

Old LEATHER SMITH here, excellent job Tony, if I was just starting out it would really help me, I have gotten lazy in my old age, I mostly use the backward stitch, 1 needle and ALL THE STITCHES R LOCKED IN just as the saddle stitch U use, don't get me wrong I use the saddle stitch and about 12 others but I prefer the BACKWARD STITCH, GOD'S BLESSINGS BROTHER ✝️⚾🙃
