The bag looks wonderful with the vibrant leather and added concho. So sorry that I couldn’t join in on the live, but thoroughly enjoyed the replay! Thanks Chris you are doing a great job with these live events.

I love this so much. Can you sew the leather in the kit on a domestic machine? I have a vintage Singer. Thanks

[@simplyclassic]

I will be sewing leather on a domestic machine in my next video. 😀😀😀

Are the DB pocket tote and the DB crossbody the same dimensions except for the handles?

[@simplyclassic]

Hello, thank you for watching. The DB crossbody is about 7.5 x 7.5 and 3” deep. The Julie (formerly the DB Pocket) is 12 x 11.5 and 4” deep.

me again. wondering if you have ever tried to do a zip placket in leather, by not turning the ends, perhaps using the leather paint on the short ends?

[@simplyclassic]

I have thought about that, and even on the long end. I am experimenting with a few ideas there. Sounds like you and I are thinking the same 😀

Hi, love your site. Suggestion, please remove the ads for your site from the videos. the bottom one often cuts off the view of the table and the top one is just annoying. We all know who you are!. Thanks Perhaps move one to top left instead

[@simplyclassic]

Thank you for your feedback. Are you referring to the live videos?

[@robinsoria7611]

Your punch is not newly sharp. My dad was a saddle maker and punching leather was an everyday thing. What we did was put a piece of leather alittle thicker under the piece to punch. Enough to fit in the punch and squeeze. The punch will want to cut through the added piece and you intended holes ontop cut clean. Peace... .

Thank you Robin, I will certainly try that!
