TWO New Stitches to Elevate your Leathercraft!

TWO New Stitches to Elevate your Leathercraft!

We usually use the Saddle Stitch on every leathercraft project we make, but there are some different stitch methods you can use to open you craft up to many new shapes! In this video we make a leather pen cup using two of these stitches - the Butt Joint and the Box Joint. These stitches allow you to make 3 dimensional leathercraft projects by joining the leather at right angles or totally flat with no overlap. They take a bit of time to master, but once you've got them down they're totally worth it!

The algorithm just lead me to this channel, 20 hours ago, and i ordered my first cheap starter-tool-kit and 1kg of left-over scraps of leather to give it a go. Man i'm so excited!

I'm Brand New to working with Leather Carving (or anything Leather for that matter) and I've been watching hundreds if not thousands of YouTube videos.
Some are noteworthy while others are just time lapse videos showing someone making Beautiful Works of Art.
I'm grateful however, for Instructional Videos such as Yours.
I'm 61 years young and wanting to leave something behind for the Nephews and Nieces to hopefully Learn from (rather than watching someone else play Minecraft on YouTube)
This is what YouTube is all about, Learning Awesome New Things, whether electronics or how to play a guitar or something like this, Beautiful Leathercraft!!

Thank You for Your Time as well as for Sharing Your Knowledge with people like Myself, Who's looking for Something New to learn!!
I appreciate You and Others like You Who share Your Talents with Everyone Who wants to Learn!!
Thank You Always!! 😊

Thank you sooo much for doing this video. I have been struggling with box stitching. Your video clarified a lot of my confusions on leather weight, stitching awl, the pitching angles and number of holes. Now I am ready to try again!!! Love love this!!

This is all I needed to do a camera half-case, thanks!

I want to thank you for making these videos. I've been collecting leather tools for about a year and half now but haven't made anything yet. This is because I have a fear that I will mess up the project and get discouraged.

I've been browing your videos and it has encouraged me to just practice my cuts and stitching first. I have a bag of scraps that I've had lying around that I'm eager to break into and practice.

Thank you again!

Your channel is the best on the internet. Clear, simple and most of all inspiring!

Happily watching this again and again - thank you for beautifully showing and explaining how to do these stitches.

Me too, me too! Fixing an antique leather case that lost its end cap. This is perfectly timed. Thank You.

[kokifreedom]

This video is exactly what I needed for the instruction. Thank you for explaining everything so well.

I have been avoiding this video for abit but I finally sat down to watch it. I've only been in this craft for a just over year so I have taken the time to master the saddle stitch first (That I initially learned from your channel). I am pretty confident now when I say I can pull off these two new stitches. You explain everything so clearly, and with what I have learned from the channel in the past; everything just made sense, I didn't find myself having to rewind the video at all.

I have always wanted to make a leather hat box and with this tutorial I will now be able to make my wish come true. Thank you 🤗
