Love your work, thank you for the free pattern. This is exactly what i was looking for. Oh and i love your humor. keep it coming. cracks me up. Good luck with your company. Will follow.
2y later, I find this. Awesome thank you so much! I might just try because it's hard to find these, a favored mitten for sure. So lovely, great teacher! ~Alaska
I've always believed in giving more in user value than we take in financial compensation (I probably butchered that, lol). Springbok Craft Co certainly does that, and it's greatly appreciated.
In the u.s., paid shopping carts are rare. Aldi is one of the few that still does require it and the u.s. has ALOT of shopping stores for food. From my understanding, it was a big deal at some point in most of the u.s. but I am temporarily in Ohio (planning my escape back into reality anywhere away from here). I remember paid shopping carts growing up in nyc. Anyway, thank you for sharing this idea😊.
Thank you for this, EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting to make! For those that don’t use a machine for the sewing, are there any changes or modifications that you would recommend?
My pleasure. I'd definitely pre-punch the holes in the gusset before gluing it onto the main body. I actually think it's going to look a lot cleaner handstitched.
Love your video, I notice that the pattern calls for a 6'x 4.75" cutout in the bottom piece but in the video it looks much different (8"x 4.75") . Is 6X4.75 correct?
Hi, can't wait to make this bag. What size thread do you typically use and what size needle as well. I mostly use 92 thread, but it appears you are using 138 or higher.
OLD Leather Smith here, I liked All of them, easy even 4 this OLD MAN, A BEGINNER WOULD BE able 2 follow as easily as I did. Great Job thank you. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️🥎🙃
Thank you for the pattern. Unfortunately the bottom half of page 2 is missing. Shouldn't the pattern be 3 pages? Sadly not many of us have a printer large enough to a print poster size of 33x17.
*sitting in the corner with a measly Singer 4411HD with look of bewilderment* OOH! I CAN'T PLAY WITH YALL, YALL ONE OF THE BIG KIDS! AND YOU GOT A JUKI MONSTER TOO AND WORKING WITH REAL LEATHER? NAH, I CAN'T PLAY WITH YALL! LOVELY PATTERN THOUGH, BUT MY MACHINE CAN'T HANDLE REAL LEATHER LIKE THAT.
