If you found yourself with nothing but time on your hands to pursue your passion, how would you structure your day?
If you could start all over again at the beginning to learn this craft, how would you go about learning to achieve proficiency as an artisan?
How many hours per day would be spent stitching? Skiving? Sharpening? Beveling? Burnishing?
I would spend my time first on getting proficient each of these skills first, then I would move on to practicing by making full bags. That way you are applying the skills and techniques to projects which help you further hone your skills.
