making a small leather crossbody bag (gussets length explained) leathercraft

Love the family sounds. Your daughter sounds adorable. Great video! Thanks so much. New to leathercraft and having hard time with gussets. This is fantastic. Thanks again.

[@garyipip]

Thank you very much 😁😁😁

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

Love this video! Great explanation on how you figure out your gusset length. I like being as precise as possible so this will make my life so much happier. Estimating the length has always bugged me so this way will definitely work better for me! Thank you very much!! I wrote the previous part before finishing the video so I just had to add: the part about stitching was so hilarious and so true! And I agree about hand sewing versus machine stitching.

[@garyipip]

Thank you very much!!! I am glad that you found it helpful!!! Best regards.

[@patriciacalvinho4629]

Hi Gary, I use an industrial cylinder machine for much of my bag assembly, but there are still spots on the bag where you just can’t access it with the cylinder arm and it requires hand sewing. As a female hand stitching some of these stiffer veg tans is really hard on my hands. Just punching the holes is a workout. Gussets have to be engineered correctly for machine joining in order to have space for the walking foot to travel. An industrial machine outfitted with the proper needle (triangle versus diamond point) does a beautiful job slanting stitches on the right or top side, but the back or bottom side never looks as good (or is as strong) as a well executed saddle stitch. The bottom machine stitches lay on the top surface of the leather rather than sinking down as they do on the top side. Some folks use a stitch wheel and run over the machine stitches on the backside to help set them in. The overlap seam you are doing with this bag I don’t believe can be done even with a cylinder arm and my guess only (since I don’t own one) is that a post bed machine would be needed. As with all things in leather craft there is no one size fits all for any tool and there are pluses and minuses to each technique. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos. Sandy

[@FarEastSurvival]

Very good work. I know what you mean about having patience in hand stitching. It is boring but also therapeutic.

[@fanman8102]

Far East Survival - it is therapeutic! I call it mindless work. It allows you to get in your nothing box where nothing exists but the needles and thread.

[@FarEastSurvival]

@@fanman8102 Yes these days I switched to a leather sewing machine to make bags. It's not as strong as a hand stitch but I can make a bag so much faster.

[@drock6335]

You're absolutely right about the leather stitching. I bought a machine a little over a thousand. And I know sewing by hand is way better. But there's times I might use the machine.. but then I feel like it's not leather crafting. It's only bootlegging..😞

[@garyipip]

So true! Thank you very much!!!

[@marshallbanks2295]

Great video, beautiful work. My one question is where did you start marking the holes with your pricking iron? Did you start in the exact middle and use the first prong each direction from that mark? Thank you

[@garyipip]

Thank you very much, Yes, I did start from the middle, and exactly like you said.

[@friscokid66]

You have good taste and skills!

[@garyipip]

Oh thank you!

[@bhgaga]

So Lovely!!! 😍

[@garyipip]

Thank you very much!!!

[@gall_blader_works]

Great Video Gary, I can't wait to try this out. Though I noticed that since you used a diamond chisel, the slanted holes in the back panel and gusset will face different ways. Wouldn't this lead to issues for the stiching?

[@АлександрПетрович-д9ц]

Beautiful product! I want to do the same for my granddaughter! What are the dimensions of the pattern? And how thick is the skin?

[@deepdiver849]

Awesome! Btw can you apply the same method for round bag gusset by counting the holes? Also I reckon your leather is veg tanned?

[@garyipip]

Thank you very much!!! I think it works for round gusset as well!!! yes, that was a piece of veg tanned!!! almost 3mm thick!!!

[@deepdiver849]

garyipip Thanks a lot for your response! I don’t have sewing machine for leather either,as am relatively new to leather craft and haven’t done much either, but maybe in the future I may purchase something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJLap59rj798mqs You may find it interesting yourself, and might give this little creature a go...I was pretty intrigued by the simplicity but it seems they raised the price

Why is the method of joining the front and back to the sides different on each side of the bag? see 37:28 One side the leather is "pinched" and sewn together, the other is overlapped and sewn.

[@marjetdejong6219]

Julla I suppose you cannot join the back the same way because you would have to stitch from within the bag, impossible! Now he could stitch both from the outside.
