- In this project video, I show you how to make a simple leather briefcase.
This style of briefcase is a great entry level project if you want to make bags. It is also a great project for any level of craftsman that is looking for a fairly simple bag that you can make and sell in you shops.
We do offer a pattern pack for this project that includes all the cut patterns as well as 6 different floral carving patterns.
This pattern is a LARGE FORMAT print and we offer it in a digital and printed version. If you are in the USA, then we recommend the PRINTED version that we mail out to you since the DIGITAL version will need to be taken to a print shop to have them print it. You CAN NOT print this out on you home printer.
Here are the links if you would like to purchase a copy of the pattern pack:

This is was fun to watch. You’re a bit more than talented at this. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Don I have watched a few of your videos of yours recently, I like your methods and explanations. I aspire to one day be even slightly as good as you. I am continuing to try what I have seen you do. Take care David
Simple and useful
Wow Don. You make it look so easy. ❤️. Love this one
That is absolutely beautiful 🤩 ❤
😍😍😍😍
hi i am a amateur leather crafter i have learned from your videos. i bought barge contack cement and water base glue for leater. i tried titebond wood glue and it also works good ,
you should do a bible cover template
Would like to have seen how you carved that circle on the key!
Nice Bag... how exactly do you "rub out" the stitch holes made in error? possible for pricked holes also?
What alternatives do you have for those of us that don’t have specialized leather sewing machines?
Remember there are always some crafters with sewing machines that will do some stitching for others. On light weight leathers some home machines will work. Of course, they may be a charge & shipping charges unless you can find someone local. In years past, I have hand stitched saddlebags - western & motorcycle bags. Yes, it takes time but if you are making them for someone you definitely charge for it.
Beauty but I'm not keen on the handles. They look too big & chunky.
I have a question, I hope someone can help me. I'm looking for a metal compass like the Don Gonsales one that creates a channel for the seam to pass through, but I don't know what they are called or what brand they are. ??????
They are called stitch groovers.
Very nice tight work.
