This is a nice video ! Thanks for showing the journey. 😄

This makes me want to make my own watch bands

[@richf5967]

I was just attempting the same thing today in 2024 😂
I tried hand stitching saddle stitch and it was not as nice on canvas compared to leather
But machine stitching was much better
So I’m going to stick with machine for the canvas

Love this idea. Ive started making bands from my hemmed jean cutoffs

[@billcrosssc430]

If you could saddle stitch, it would be great !
Perfect 100 on band, stitch 10 out of 100

[@jimzartman]

It is saddle-stitched but it is much different than leather. Always learning!

[@-----REDACTED-----]

Nice! I was looking for a diy video with straps made entirely of canvas!
Maybe reinforce the holes with small grommets/eyelets?

[@jimzartman]

That would be great. Would certainly improve the design.

I want to do this but with some old trousers I had. Lovely tan colour with an unfortunate hole, but my folks donated them instead. Can't say I'm annoyed by that, but I would've loved to experiment on that

[@jimzartman]

That's a great idea! You should totally do that!

[@snoopcat6879]

it was so good but I think the sewing could be better(:

[@jimzartman]

For sure! It's much different than leather!

[@mmanow]

Amazing

[@mjaf]

[@jimzartman]

thanks!

[@biro1347]

Nice video!

[@KaWaDu-tq9on]

You Think is a possible to make nato strap for the watch, in that same way?

[@11111atmos]

What glue are you using for canvas?

[@jimzartman]

Been trying different ones. I tried a neoprene glue (like wetsuits) for a couple of these and all purpose cement for another... which is a kind I use in leatherwork.

[@kevinorr6880]

rough stitching...

[@jimzartman]

A bit. It is different than leather for sure!
