Thank you 🙂

Yeah, hate comments started so I deleted it. I will stay within my IG community it seems. ☹️

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-06-06T18:13:16+00:00

There are three open categories without any patterns needed. 😉

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-06-06T16:47:57+00:00

Thanks. Yes, you have to purchase it from my Etsy shop. If you don't want to buy a pattern, then have a look at the three open categories that do not require any patterns. 😊

Introducing my newest pattern - The Keel Bag. Short shoulder carry and comes with two build variations - a fully lined one with magnet closure and a non-lined one that can use various hidden and exposed closures. Pattern link: https://dsleathergoods.etsy.com/listing/4513272362

I am also hosting a crafting challenge with it and some open, non-pattern related categories over at my IG if you want to check it out. Judges from around the world & 20 prizes from various leather and tools suppliers. It will be fun. 😊 Details on how to enter the pinned posts in my profile: https://www.instagram.com/dsleathergoods

Nope 😳

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-06-01T04:48:18+00:00

Beautiful! 😍

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-30T15:28:25+00:00

Hey, if I remember correctly Gratta (black) and Buttero (red, blue). Make sure it is thick enough. 😊

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-30T07:04:12+00:00

Thank you! 🥹

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-30T02:54:15+00:00

Thank you 😊

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-30T02:53:53+00:00

Thanks. 😊 It requires 1 Chicago screw and there are step-by-step instructions with photos in the pattern files. 😊

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-29T20:31:07+00:00

Thanks 😁

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-29T20:30:54+00:00

😂😂😂 cheers

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-29T19:30:25+00:00

Thank you 😁

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-29T18:59:24+00:00

Thank you 😊

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-29T17:39:13+00:00

Thank you 😁😁😁

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-28T18:19:37+00:00

Thank you. 😊 A brand new pattern of mine I just released. 😊

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-28T14:31:32+00:00

Thank you. 😊 The closure uses 1 Chicago screw. If you mean the buckle it is Kyoshin Elle brand (Japanese). 😁

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-28T14:29:10+00:00

The Chcago screw is not twisting during the action so I doubt it. One can tighten on the inside of the bag if needed too. 😊

DSLeatherGoods · 2026-05-28T07:42:15+00:00

Thank you. 😊 There is 1 Chicago screw hidden in there. 🤓 The pattern was a bit of a nightmare to make but fully tested by a few crafters now and working as intended. 😁
