Making a Leather Clutch / Pouch (and Having Fun!) - The Emily

[@VivyBDesigns]

Not only are you talented, I am learning so much, but you're funny with all your props. 😅

[@MasconLeather]

😆 thanks!!

[@dilermandocarvalho219]

You put on a show with your work

[@MasconLeather]

I really do try to entertain as well as inform.

[@brianmickelson4642]

This was such a pleasant way to finish up my lunch break.... Watching the build process across all your videos has really broadened my understanding of planning for assembly and when to cut what, when the glue up, when to bevel edges, etc... Thank you so much.

[@MasconLeather]

What a great perspective! Thank you for that! I never thought about it that way.

[@brianmickelson4642]

I’ll be honest, it can lead to some design block for me.... I make a plan then think, uh oh, how/when do I do this part? If leather were cheap, I’d just cut first and fix later... 😂

[@MasconLeather]

I have 200+ hides of leather. Varying worth. The “first” of every design I grab a cheap hide and make a quickie. To ease the stress. And make it more about fun then perfection. It works every time. Joy is as relevant as productivity. 👍

[@instagamrr]

SO pretty - I love love love how rugged the leather looks!

I just started out in leather and I have some ideas of my own. would you ever consider making a video on pattern making when you have an idea? common measurments and how to approach it? I love your work and your style. Your videos have helped me out alot. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@otealuajones8289]

what was that white powder that you scraped off the back of the leather?

[@MasconLeather]

Scrap off? Probably wax build up from the tanning process

[@markpalma5608]

Your videos are absolutely amazing! What is your inspiration behind your designs?

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks !!! Inspiration is it create aesthetically pleasing art.

[@dianecampbell3134]

Hey there! Amazing work. Wondering how you'd recommend aligning the edges after you cut some pieces and have glued and stitched them together if you don't have that little fraise rolling machine??

[@MasconLeather]

I have no clue what a fraise rolling machine is. Cut everything PERFECTLY first. Then glue. Then sand. Then stitch. Then bevel. Then sand again. Done

Does the kettle or mug ever cause the cutting mat to bow up?

[@MasconLeather]

I’ve had the hot kettle warp the mat. Yes. Be careful

[@deanransom2350]

So, I have given it much thought as I re-stocked my leather tooling equipment after more than 30 years. I have decided my work bench needs an 'Olivia'. Where might one acquire such a robust poseable mode? Maybe that will help the quality of my work that has gone stale after so many years of inactivity.
