Box & Butt stitch or the art of changing a pumpkins into magical coach!
Fellow Leather Craftsmen, I would like to introduce today a very satisfying and traditional stitching method: Box stitching and Butt stitching!

At this day and age we see fake box stitching or fake butt stitching on some of...
Making a watch pouch
Fellow leather craftsmen, In this video I am showing you how to make the simple soft leather watch pouch shown on the picture.

Making a wet molded card holder

Making a zipper pouch
Hi there! Today I have made a zipper pouch and thought it could be useful to make a video about it to show the zipper corner assembling technique.

The acrylic templates are available in the store and I have included a mold to deal with the zipper assembly. Get them here.Enjoy!
