As a fellow hobby collector, I would love to see your leatherwork journey!

[rmlrhonda]

I’d be happy to see the leatherwork stuff as well. I love branching out with my crafting and watching all kinds of making and makers.

That kit looks like it was well designed and engineered to be an enjoyable process. You show such a joy in the process of making things and are so willing to share your thoughts behind the decisions you make, it lets us understand where you are coming from.

Well done on that bag! It came out great. And that headphones/charging cable opening makes it look like it could double as a project bag to cross over your hobbies.

[gabes.]

I loved this! You are, as always, fantastic and a joy to watch. Thank you for the effort and hard work to keep us entertained and informed.

i found your videos a few weeks ago from you spinning dryer lint and have been working my way through all your videos, it's been such a delight. i like to sew, but i've never considered spinning yarn or anything like that before, i've tried learning how to crochet and knit a few times but haven't been able to stick with it yet. even tho we come from different hobbies it's been very inspirational watching your videos and it really makes me want to create and experiment more! all that being said, i love hearing you talk and really i think you could make a video about anything you want and i'd watch it, lmao. leatherworking is another hobby i've never really considered, but am now lowkey thinking about it because of your channel. but yeah, i've been loving your work <33

consider me influenced, thrilled you got an affiliate link! I saw the bag on tiktok and thought it would make a great sock project bag

This is the second video I've enjoyed where the creator shared activities outside of their normal content. (Does that extra long & weird sentence make sense???😂) This was a great video & the bag is wonderfully made!

[beeps]

Yess loved seeing the process and your thoughts along it! 100% down for more leatherwork as well.

Leatherworking looks so fun! Hand sewing can be tough ive been wanting to get into it more, but ive mostly just repaired my dogs toys up till now

[onernoa]

Omg you're in the pink pony club now

[WhimsyKnits]

I like leather working so I enjoyed this video. Your bag is cool :).

[wizard-amphibian]

I'm a sewer and a multi hobby crafter. I've always been interested in leatherwork but just cant justify buying the tools and adding another thing to my list of hobbies y'know? lol also I felt the same way about getting a needle through leather but I know you're 'supposed' to use a like rotary tool thing to pre cut the holes. I did some leatherwork as a teenager idk. I wish youtube had recommended me the puppet videos you talked about that sounds pretty neat to me. I've been really into making resin ball jointed dolls lately.

Also with leather if it wasn’t perforated you would use an awl to put the holes in before sewing

[amelia]

That looks so fun, and it turned out great! I love hand sewing (English paper piecing, a type of hand quilting) and it was fun to see you try it out!

[woollenmaplesgarden]

Hi you mentioned there were video tutorials. But is there written instructions also? I'm very bad at following video tutorials 😅

[VondaInWonderland]

I went on the site and it said that the interior is polyurethane. How much of it was PU? I would want to buy some strong fabric to replace that with. I hate the way that PU deteriorates over time. I would want it to last forever :)

[YoshitakeMertens]

Now it's a decrease in quality and an increase in prices. There is no reason to buy genuine products, it's better to buy counterfeit products with even better quality than genuine ones kisluxs

[paigeelias]

Those scissors look like thread snips. I don’t think they would be good for cutting leather

[peigirl]

I love seeing all your crafting adventures!! so cool!
