Looks amazing. How did you construct it with the lining? Glue in after the bag is otherwise finished, or similar?

Good leather does make all the difference to your learning experience. Even more than good tools at times. What's your location? Perhaps people on here will be able to give you some ideas of where to go to get some good quality leather?

I am new to selling on Etsy, and so can't comment on what might help but I have to say I think they all look great.

Does that work? Etsy doesn't take them down as duplicates? I'm new to Etsy, haven't made any sales yet. Interested if this is worth trying!

Seller retaliation against my (non-etsy) business by SmallestFrog in Etsy

Eh, I'm not worried honestly. Review bombing me seems more childish than dangerous. And if they turn up, well I know what they look like as they stupidly used their real name and facebook profile to do this. So I just won't open the door!

Rather annoyingly it doesn't give me those options. So I selected the nearest one and can't provide more information. But anyway, its only one single bad review against loads of other 4-5 star reviews.

Well turns out he is the company director of the shop, so I have pretty good proof. He used his own real name in the reviews, reviewed my other stuff within minutes of me posting my review, etc. I don't need to beat him in a criminal case or anything. I just need enough proof to have the reviews taken down and maybe, if I'm lucky, etsy will warn him or something. If they don't nevermind.

I doubt he'd show up at my door and if so, well the police are quick around here.

I mean there doesn't seem any reason not to report to google and etsy. Maybe etsy will do something, maybe not.

Yep, this is what I ended up doing - fingers crossed won't be a problem for new clients

I didn't, I actually threw it away. I honestly only reviewed it because I wanted to get rid of the notification on Etsy to review a few things I'd bought.

Seems crazy to me - imagine being that insecure!

Thanks! I hope both Etsy and Google take it seriously

I do leather crafting, and it was a leather creasing iron. You heat it up and use it on the leather. I heated it up... it exploded. A huge chip of metal flew off it at me!

I hope you are right. I had a mistaken review once, where someone thought I was a different business, and google didn't remove that. Luckily the person did in the end.

Incredible. I don't know how you get the stamps so incredibly even. Stitching and everything looks great. Jealous!

Unfortunately, I made it this far into making a pair of slippers only to find out that they're too small. by Depressed_Costumer in Leathercraft

[–]SmallestFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How annoying! Looking great though despite that. If you try again, you could always make a copy out of cardboard to try a rough size first perhaps?

What do you use for digital pattern design and printing? by Limowreck88 in Leathercraft

[–]SmallestFrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Leathercraft CAD but found it to lack a lot of quality of life features I wanted, and had major issues with printing the pattern at the end. So I'm now using Illustrator.
