“I’ve never worked with leather before and so I started with the Jess bag.  It was a super simple bag to make and I’m thrilled with my finished item.  It took me slightly longer than an hour to complete because I’m a newbie but I’m sure the next one will be faster.  I was impressed with the detailed instruction manual, and the YouTube video was easy to follow.  I’ve just bought the Annabel pattern!”

“Hello Hot Pink Frog Designs! Thanks for a great pattern.  I have some leathercraft experience and so I challenged myself with the Maxine satchel.  I learnt plenty of new skills here.  I’ve never lined a bag with leather before and the result is awesome! I was sceptical when I saw the pattern didn’t have stitching holes but I was blown away by how simple it is to glue the seams before punching the stitching holes - it saved SO much time and my bag was finished in less than a day.  I have received so many compliments on my new bag! Thanks again”
