Making A Basic LEATHER TOTE BAG - Build Along Tutorial

[@Hawk74]

I've watched around 15 videos about a tote bag and you're the first, and only one, to demonstrate and explain how to do the corners. Fantastic demonstration, thank you!

[@MAKESUPPLYLEATHER]

LOL no one wants to show the worst part!

[@andreamalo4076]

I don't speak English, how much do the corners have? Thank you !!!!!

[@johnfrancis5243]

I appreciate the time, effort and commitment you've put into this video... Thank you pal...

[@yubidubi]

Great video. I would like to offer a tip. I use masking tape to secure the pattern to the leather. The pattern is less likely to shift while I am scoring the leather.

[@oakridgereview1359]

Yessssss!! I do little donuts in the corners. Cheap and effective insurance against boogers lol

[@Spencer635]

Good idea. I prefer using small weights to hold down my acrylic templates while I'm tracing onto the leather. www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7OKUAV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

[@wiltwager]

What's amazing is you can do that left-handed. I love your videos and how you detail everything!

[@tayloralvarez3]

Incredible video! I love how in depth you go and you show the entire process. Very helpful!

[@markolson7877]

Fantastic video...my sister-in-law just commissioned me to make one for her...this is perfect!! Bravo!!!

[@dannymarkgraf34]

great video. i loved that you showed how you hand stich it. i have watched other videos where they made these and they used a machine, and in the comments people mentioned they hand stitched theirs, but i am new to this so i was thinking they used a stitching pony. your video is great since it shows that isnt the case. thank you for a great instructional step by step video.

[@erikgautebaklid2868]

Ambidexter like myself. Well originally I'm a lefty but got ambi with time. Good tutorial 👍🙂

[@lrobinson1202]

Hands down the most informative video i've ever seen thanks man.

[@V3leathercraft]

Thanks for this. I am going to make my DAY for this to my wife with Unfinished Veg Tanned 1.6mm polished with my homemade Natural Wax Conditioner (1part Beeswax, 1Part Cocoa Butter, 1/2part Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 1/2 part Castor Oil blended in hotpan)band my straps will be with two lengths stitched together for better strength.

[@kboleather]

That leather is absolutely beautiful and a fine choice! It is great having you back posting vids!

[@walquirialobato5313]

K B O Leather, hi! That is not leather, it is synthetic fabric for bags.

[@kboleather]

@@walquirialobato5313 ah, you are mistaken.

[@walquirialobato5313]

@@kboleather, hi. Well, I think You are all right, thanks for tell me. See You!

[@ArniltonBull]

I bought a LV bag gtdupe years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences

[@rfleecs]

Nice work!!! Looks like a winner ...I can see a great project for Christmas. Really glad to see you producing these tutorials again, and I look forward to seeing more! I really appreciate your expertise. I'm sure you are liking the new space, lots of work area. Thanks again!!!

[@cristyrojas529]

Finalmente encontre un video donde explican tan bien y de una forma fácil que ya me animé para hacer mi propio bolso 👜 gracias excelente video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MyShayShow]

What size prong did you use? Looks like 4mm

[@jamesjimmeyer7775]

Cannot wait to get one of these templates!!!!

[@oakridgereview1359]

Just got my templates in today!!! Stoked to do this!!

[@taraaustin2158]

Who’s your barber??? Just watched the back of your head for the past 30 minutes 😝 great video!

[@ashleynavarro6212]

What is the thickest oz you would recommend for the flipping inside out method? Thank you!

[@YarnoldJ]

Thanks for the great tote bag vide

[@doogyob]

Thanks for the tutorial. If you ever decide to record a multi-cam version you can use the chirping smoke alarm to sync your audio. 😂👊

[@milenaramos2773]

Excellent video, beautiful Bag. Can you give me the exact measurements of the mold, please? Thank you

[@teslabolt007]

Was there any glue to clean up in the seams?

[@yoniallen]

Incredible tool for the strap cutting

[@alainwiard6517]

Hi, sorry for my stupid questions, but I’m learning right! At the very beginning of the video (around 2.10 minutes) you are telling about your thread. It is a “3.5 natural waxed thread”. I just want to make sure what the 3.5 are as I’m living in a country using metric. If I know the unit behind the 3.5 I can manage to find a conversion table. Oh yes, and what is the material? Cotton, nylon,… Thank you very much.

[@bagsandbannersllc5965]

Hi, what kind of leather you used for the straps , the ozs? Thanks in advance!!

[@HammitCreates]

Beautiful bag- great work - thanks for the instructions

[@markabrian1925]

I noticed you're a lefty. I was helping my sister do her first leather project recently and we were using the groover tool. We noticed it can only be for right handers, do you have a lefty version? If not, what did you do to have that work for a lefty?

[@heryadijaffar9507]

Hi, where did you find this ‘rough and tough’ kind of leather? Great work!

[@nirupachadha6345]

Simple. Loved layout & all your instructions. Thank you.

[@jessintime3782]

how much leather would i need for this project quarter hide enough?

[@angelguadarrama5801]

I enjoyed watching this video.

[@alainwiard6517]

I really like the work and have already used the wallet template for my very first leather work. It's just great along with the video. But for this tote bag, I'd like to know if the pdf pattern is free because I can't find it by clicking on the link. Thank you. Alain.

[@uglyleatherjournals3210]

It’s not. You can purchase either on their site or Etsy. On the website there is a tutorial on assembling the pdf to create the template as well.

[@alainwiard6517]

@@uglyleatherjournals3210 Thank you very much. It was not clear to me as some of the patterns are free to download (the wallet if I remember well).

[@uglyleatherjournals3210]

You are awesome 👍😎

[@sherryc4898]

1st time watching one of your videos. Awesome job! ~ would love to see a closeup tutorial on how to stitch the edges. 👍🏻

[@johnfrancis5243]

Same here...

[@ericrasmussen7284]

Great video. Thank you so much!

[@LeatherBeast]

Nice thorough video! Like it!

[@nineteen8122]

Having quite a hard time with the strap cutter too, huh?

[@jessiesurber]

You mentioned for the purpose of the video you are using basic tools, but would you use your laser cutter to normally cut out the leather pieces for the bag?

[@MAKESUPPLYLEATHER]

I could but it would have to be a smaller tote. Most normal sizes are too large to fit in my laser bed.

[@foxtonstreet]

Would be good if you could explain that double needle stitching technique in a bit more detail.

[@davidb.beasley7359]

enjoyed the project. Looks nice. I request you turn the camera to your front so as to not block the view with your head.

[@xuanucvu336]

can i have the dimention pattern of that tote bag, pls !

[@bukkygrace16]

Nice work...gonna try it out!!!

[@Jennifer-vz7pc]

Do you have this template available for laser ?

[@noslavetoworld]

What are the template dimensions? Great tutorial.

[@MAKESUPPLYLEATHER]

The half template size I used here is 24" x 16.75"

[@noslavetoworld]

@@MAKESUPPLYLEATHER Thanks for the reply.

[@xderiwx]

@@MAKESUPPLYLEATHER Hi! Awesome tutorial! Thanks for putting it out! 24" x 16.75"? Does it matter how big the notches are, or is that up to preference of how wide you want the finished product to be? Thanks!

[@ckincade9158]

Do you sell goods online?

[@nichovaladez8048]

@MAKESUPPLY where did you find these rivets in this color?

[@wedgetailleather]

Nicho Valadez those are brass saddlers rivets. You can get them and the rivet setting tool that fits them from places like Tandy Leather, Springfield leather, etc. They are also known as brass rivet and burr.

[@nichovaladez8048]

Thanks a lot! I had only seen these in copper and really need some brass.

[@dyahrini9874]

Thank you soo much. Really love that. It’s super!!!!

[@mdkamaruzzaman7061]

Would you please show how to attache fabrics inside the bag.

Can I buy the bag from the beginning 😍

Who can I buy this kind of leather from? Would appreciate any help! Thank you

Check out Tandy Leather for starters.

[@ЕвгенийКовалев-м9ы]

Please tell me the size of the patterns

[@ewwmorons]

Can I cut the leather with a sharp scissor?

[@samanthastraub9847]

They make leather cutting scissors, but most don't work well. A straight edge and a box cutter work good

Good video but I think this tote would be more attractive if the straps weren't spread so far apart. They would look better more close together.

Nice bag but video too long.
