Diego and I am a new member of the online school. I am getting familiar with the web but I only see 15 exposed tutorials to which no new content is added. Is there access to another area of ​​the web that I cannot find, where there is more content? Greetings.

Was finishing up seeing this project and set it down for the evening. Unbeknownst to me there was a bit of something with oil on it was resting on! 😱 Anybody have any good suggestions how to get the oil out/lighten it?

I started worked on this bucket bag for a Christmas present. Saffiano on the exterior, Epsom on the interior. Both are about 1,4mm (should’ve had the interior split, I know). Now that the body is done minus a couple stitches on one side, tested the cinching with the threaded leather and the shape is totally wrong. The top should be closing inward, not pressing outward. I believe the issue is that leather is too thick and perhaps too rigid, which is causing it to take on the shape it does when the cord is pulled tight. @atelierpeternitz @Julien Danel and others: is there any way of saving this or should I cut my losses and start over with thinner, more malleable leather? I even took the grommets out to see if that was the issue, but the bag took on the same shape even without the grommets. Any advice, insight, help would be appreciated. thanks!

I would like to use ostrich leg for a wallet, but I notice the large scales separate from the rest of the skin. Should these be glued back down? I cant imagine that a wallet will wear well if the scales separate like they do . Thank you!

Hi peter, im struggling with the lining of gussets. once bent into shape the lining is set back from the edge so that when i attach to the main body there i a large gap inbetween the gusset top layer and the main body lining. do you have any tips for this? Should i be trying to oversize the lining and them trim after bending it into shape?

Hi. I have a slight problem here. I used bonded leather to give a bit more form to the outer. I glued the whole bonded leather and not just the sides. I stitched it inside-out and it caused wrinkles. I tried to put conditioner and water for less than 5 minutes, but it’s chrome tanned and fully glued so the water did not fully penetrate. I tried using a home iron in different heat settings with a cotton fabric on top but it’s still wrinkly on the photo. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this or should I just find a way to put the bonded leather after? I am just a bit worried about alignment of the bonded leather when trying to stick it inside, which is why I tried this. Hoping to get some suggestions.

Hi, what type of studs and buttons do you use for wallets and other small products? Could you please recommend where to buy them? Thank you!
