How I Made 2 leather Tote Bags: a step-by-step tutorial

- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2014
- I made 2 leather tote bags this weekend and this is how I did it. Please note: I am not a professional leather craftsman, just a hobbyist and I learned everything from RUclips.
Not shown in this video is the final application of Tandy's professional red edge paint to all raw cut-edges of the leather bag, including the leather-wrapped handles, using a dauber. This gives the bags a very pleasant finished look. I did not have the red edge paint available when I made this video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very entertaining, and informative.
Best lines from this:
"I don't sell these; these are priceless"
"As long as my wife and daughter are not ashamed to wear them, I'll keep making them."
Outstanding!
Your wife and daughter are blessed to have a man like you in their lives. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you, too, for your kind words.

Thank you so much! It is just fun to make some things occasionally.
I don't even know you, but one thing I do know , is that you are a humble man. You love your wife and your daughter, as I listen to you explain your technique I am also humbled . You are not a hobbyist my dear Sir, you just have a wonderful gift as we all have, you are just tapping in on it. Keep giving us you tubers your thoughts. With all due respect, Linda
+Linda Mason Thank you, Linda, for your very kind remarks. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Very impress with the tutorial, You inspired me to make one. Love the pattern and how they turned out. Thank you for uploading the video.
Wow, great job! Your wife and daughter must have loved getting these bags from you! TFS
Hey brother. I love these bags. Thank you so much for the detailed description. I'm getting into leather crafting and I told my wife I am going to make her a bag. Now after watching your video I think I have a clue. Thanks for sharing and I subbed.
+Far East Survival You are welcome and wish you success.
Good Job. I am sure your daughter and wife will appreciate it for a long time!
You hand crafted the bags really well, I look forward to see you make some more bags in different designs. I admire your confidence, it's what made you achieve doing the lovely bags. Thank you for the subtitles, it's nice that I can join in your journey of your new found hobby. Keep going, you have the knack for this craft.
Thanks! It has been a while since I did any leather works -- too many hobbies, in addition to my day job. May get back to it in the future, though, as it is fun.
Such a wonderful video! Just getting in to leathercrafts, and this gives me hope! I just ordered my Barge contact cement for those edges. Thanks!
I enjoyed watching very much. I tried before a quick one on sewing machine. Dumb foot pushed one piece of leather so mine is crooked so bad. Yours look very good and professional...you have good good patience for making and stitching all the holes by hand.. Your wife and daughters should be very very proud to carry them and they are nice size for all a womans stuff we carry with us.
Love it, thanks so much for sharing you have given me inspiration to try one myself!
Nice! Great job! Priceless yes they are!

I like his voice...I like the baby too, she so cute, when she turn 5 she gone rock her own designed bags...handmade by dad.😀
very nice bags....I'm thinking of making a leather bag....
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. In your next video please explain the saddle stitching method. Also, where do you get the leather hides? Thank you. I will be making one as soon as I figure out that stitching technique.THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I am a leather crafter. You did very nicely for a hand crafted pieces. (never say home made) I have to subscribe now so I can see how you progressed.
you did a good job
Oh so beautiful and simple. And we pay a lot of money for such bags in stores. Is leather expensive? I like very much the tanned leather, it is the best leather in the world, it may last more than 20 years and it always looks amazing, especially that brown ones. Thanx for sharing. I have 2 pieces of leather from a bag i didn`t like so i want to make a small bag because the pieces are not big, maybe i`ll try your technique.
your bags are beautiful
Beautiful
thank you for your learning and your advicises from lille in France
+Corinne Valtremont You are very welcome!
good job man
Beautiful job! May I use your idea to make my own pattern? Thanks for sharing.
AWESOME!!!!
I love your work im glad you make these i also love crafting looks like you take care in what you do.
Please keep making i wonder if you make a smaller bag same pattern... 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Thanks. Of course you can make a smaller bag using a similar pattern. Nothing is set in stone and you can change everything.
Great Video. I LOVE HomeMade and think it is so much better than any commercially made bag.! I only hope I can do as good as you. Do you have measurements of your pattern?
I really love your purses. And, the video. Could you please tell me the best place to buy the leather ? Thank you...
Very talanted
Wonderful
Hi! Amazing job. I want to recreate this tote bag! Would you be so kind to provide the measurements you used for the bag? thanks!
YESSSS! great 😄
hey How can we get the pattern? i love it
very nice
WooOooooooOoooW very beautiful and professional i loved this video so much really thank you :)
Very nice, congrats. I'm also starting with leatherwork. One question: are the bottom glued?
Where did you get that maker's mark?
Great work. What is the thickness or oz leather? Damond stick chisel, what is the gap? What size threat do you use? Where did you have the maker's mark made? Thank you. Joe
Hello Mister Tsou. My mother and I have really enjoyed your video for making the tote bags. She is a beginner leatherworker herself and wondered if you could share the pattern dimensions with us? No pressure as I know this is your own personal project. Many thanks. We hope you are still enjoying leatherworking. Many Thanks.
Liam and Anita
手艺真好。羡慕

I like your purses you made and is there anyway I could get a copy of your patern and how much leather you used for one, please let me know sir
Dennis Tilley Thank you for your interest but sorry, everything was done "ad lib" when I made these bags. The temporary pattern that I used in this video was cut by just eye-balling to the approximate size that I wanted. There was no exact measurements taken. The temporary pattern is long lost.
Robert Tsou , could you give us a measurement of the tote bag ... looks lasting with each stitch so patiently sewn in stitch by stitch , wow
HI like the bags looks really nice. I would like to know if i can get the dimension of the bag. thanks
Everything was done by just eye-balling. No measurements were taken, even the cardboard pattern shapes. I just approximated the size that I wanted, cut the cardboards and go from there.
really nice bags! where did you get the whole punch?
Thanks. You can get all the tools seen here online (from eBay, etc.) or from Tandy Leather Factory.
I Love your work! Great Job!! Do you by chance remember the seller's name on etsy.com for the Maker's Mark Custome Stamp? I was unable to locate.
me encanto la explicacion aun no entiendo una palabra ,podris pasarme las medidas en centimetros por fabor
Your bags are so pretty. I wanna one for me. Yeeeah.
Do you sell them or just make them for hobby? If so are you to send it for Brazil? please, please...
***** Thank you for your appreciation of my bags. Leatherworking is only a hobby for me and I don't sell them (I have since moved on to something else but may return to it someday.) Thanks anyway, though :-)
Do you perhaps have a printable pattern for this available? :)
I want one. 4real
(P.s. sand paper the edges to make smooth finish, then rub with wood to buff smooth.)
Great tutorial and inspiration. You sound exactly like my favourite reviewer on Cnet, Do ngo ;)
me gusto lo que pude entendr, ojala pudiera con traductor. Pero entendi gracias

how did you make the pattern?
Just eyeball the approximate size and start cutting the pattern out of cardboard, adding and taping on flaps, inner pouch as needed. No measurements were taken.
Amazing. Thank you!
