I made this bag! From knowing nothing about leatherworking a couple of years back to today and having learned mostly from this channel, I'm very grateful! Following the very reasonably priced pattern alongside the tutorial and adding my own personal touches, I'm very satisfied and others think what I've made looks great too. I think it's a great service you're doing for us. Thank you!

This is one of the best leathercraft tutorials in all of Youtube. Thank you for all the work you've put into this! Definitely going to purchase this plan to support your work!

Lady, I have to thank you for this video. It is very insightful, dedicated and appropriate for the occasion. From Australia.

Best leathercraft ever sister. You are so good in your work. You do it with eleagance which is hard to find newbie leathercraftsmen

This is a really beautiful satchel bag. I'm thinking about purchasing it. Only thing I wish you added was a handle because the shoulder strap is removable but if one were to remove it they'd have nothing to carry it with. Great tutorial though! I love the craftsmanship, I don't see many woman leather crafters on here and it's really cool to see the amazing stuff you do.

Just bought the pattern Jo. Many thanks for teaching me through lockdown and now having the confidence to make this bag (and for it to come out successfully too!!)

Would love to see a stylish carry on bag for flying.

[andyamend]

Awesome as always .. if you haven't actually tried making a bag/luggage/backpack it's hard appreciate the skill and labor involved in leatherwork of this quality...

[samuelmiller]

I am going to have to make this! This is a gorgeous bag!!

[norbertom.perrichon]

Gracias por tu trabajo EXCELENTE.
Un saludo grande de Argentina.

If you add a handle on top and remove the side strap, will it become a briefcase? Or the magnets will not hold? What if we replace them will metal snap buttons? Will that work?

[dmack]

Beautiful bag and excellent craftsmanship as always!

[MasterworkLeathercraft]

Gorgeous work as always, I love the way you walk through the process!

[ricb]

Thank you so much. Truly enjoy your work. Excellent tutorial. Inspiring as usual.

Pro mode video, i cant imagine this is so much work. 😭.. excellent work

[brettburtner]

Like many others have said, well done. I recently purchased the pattern and am currently making the satchel. I've found, however, that the pattern for the external pocket is approximately 2" too wide and I've had to modify it. I just thought you might want to know. Thanks again for the beautiful pattern!
