You are a modern day Leonardo with your mastery of multiple skills.
Hello mister Jimmy beautifully made professionally done good job
my only suggestion as a seamstress is to leave a little more of a seam allowance around the bottom where you'll be sewing the triangles, so that you can open the seam flat when you sew across the triangle. not so many layers at once, and it'll sit better at the end because the bulk is better distributed. other than that, those look great, awesome job!
Great suggestion thank you!
Any imperfections, whether it be sewing or in the leather is called character. Love your work.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Petty cash deposit bags. Takin money to the bank! Awesome project!
I like the hidden zipper ends
If I was to list "reasons to live in America", access to leathercraft supplies from Weaver would be a pro reason.
Respect from Egypt jimmy ❤
Gotta make a few to get good. Nice work and thanks for showing the details.
when I watch youtube videos I always think about my personal experiences & try to draw comparisons, its something ive always done with everything... people do it naturally but theres a lot more you can do with that, its like how I thought the other day I should get a bullet proof vest & then I get carjacked at gunpoint
I made my own leather pencil case in school, same process. My old man was a cobbler. Watching you sew zippers on leather brings back memories.
Very beautiful bags Jimmy.
I never get tired of the go to school on the first one... It helps me my workflow too! And as it's been said, small imperfections mean it's a work of art. 💚
It’s a while since I don’t see your videos, and there you come with my next interest subject. Salut from Brasil !
Flat bottomed bags, you make the rockin' world go 'round!
Thank you ! It’s great, just cutting a rectangle, then sew and snip off the corner.
Really, really nice bags. Would be great to sell one that holds the giant razor with a small pocket for an ice pick. Maybe as the maker on the go pouch.
I love this. You killed it Jimmy!
I have a bag like this, but it has a leather loop at one end of the zipper big enough to put your hand through, so you can carry it, rather than clamp your thumb down on it to hold it. Great work as always!
Fantastic work!
Flat bottom bags, they make the UA-cam world go round
Love these videos, Jimmy.
As always nice job, but I really want to see you make a professional football next time.
Jimmy makes everything look easy. When you are an artist with talent in every discipline of making, that tends to happen. Thanks Jimmy!
Just another skill in the repertoire of Mr Diresta , the leather is beautiful!
How simply beautiful they came out, nothing more than necessary has an elegance that complications mar. With zippers I find a little bees wax rubbed on greatly improves the slide & minimizes wear. Rolls Royce keep their cattle in with electric fence to minimize damage to hides used in their cars. Thank you for sharing!
I want one for my laptop it would be perfect, always love your work 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If the boxed bottom doesn't lay flat enough for you, you can hammer the seam. (With fabric we use an iron, with leather you hammer it.) 💖🌞🌵😷
Flat Bottom Bags You Make The Zipper World Go Round..... 😂
Fantastic you clever man.
Art and Book Conservator here. I have long used "Jade" glue when working with leather. It has an additional advantage in that it does not smell!
Those are beautiful pieces! Please keep showing us the Leather videos, I love watching your handiwork.
They look great
Thanks Jimmy ❤
I made my bank bag for my business similar, only with a divider in the middle. It was out of my Great Grandpa's ostrich hide. I learned something new with the glue in the corners, thanks!
30 seconds in you say experimenting with zippers which makes me think we are making a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman costume. Meow!
Excellent tutorial. These bags remind me of the faux leather or real leather bags you get from funeral home for paperwork. I think they were a thing in the 70’s and 80’s. I have a few I use for art supplies. Foil stamped funeral home logos on side.
Multi faceted Jimmy Diresta. Great job!
Jimmy you’re a man of many talents 👍🇬🇧
The bags turned out great Jim. I actually like the white thread, its a nice contrast.
I love and enjoy everything you do but I have missed things I can do,I have followed you since your tv show with your brother and “the rat” on my retirement I set up a workshop and have attempted most of your woodworking and crafts. Thank for the joy you have put into my life.
I would definitely use one of those to make a bank run at work for a change order
Fantastic job, I really love these bags, Jimmy. The leather looks awesome, and the zippers, look like they will last a lifetime. Take care and Stay safe my friend. Love and Respect from North London UK.
OMG! I want one!
Looks like a nice bank cash bag :)
Nice job for the first time or second or third and so on!
You can sew leather on most home sewing machines... just use a leather needle as it pierces the leather differently than the fabric needles. 💖🌞🌵😷
Great work!
Thank you my friend 😮
Thanks Jimmy.
Stunning work, Jimmy! Really beautiful bags!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice. I use an old bank deposit bag to hold my D&D dice. I was thinking about making one out of leather.
So cool! I made a couple of bags in thick canvass and worn out jeans several decades ago, completely by hand. Oh, man, a heavy duty sewing machine would have been nice! One of those bags was my daily holder for years and years. Seeing and using something I made myself was gratifying.
Truly enjoy every time I get a notification of a new Diresta video. I’ve learned so much from you over the years and that’s what UA-cam is all about. Thanks for constantly putting out entertaining content that leaves many of us with new knowledge and new ideas. Keep ‘em comin brother.
Jimmy! I want so badly to help you with any leather work projects! Let me make you a wallet! And let me make some special wallets that match the stain glass window you made for your shop! All hand made! Also, I recommend 2 adhesives that will cut down on your "wait to dry time" significantly. Barge contact cement is #1. Weld Wood is pretty much the exact same thing and are both alcohol based. So either will do, but all you do is apply a small amount to each side you are attaching together. Let dry for 30 seconds to 2-3 minutes depending on amount used. Attach the pieces together, hammer down or use a squeeze clamp but I recommend a hammer as it is fast and effective. You can immediately continue with the build after this. The negatives of these adhesives is the smell. It has heavy fumes. And California says it has chemicals in the fumes that in high doses AKA people who use it every day, might have issues with infertility. The other leather adhesive I recommend is SEIWA Leather adhesive. It is a water based adhesive, so it does not give off strong fumes while using. It dry's almost as fast as the barge contact cement and you use it the exact same way. This adhesive is a little thinner than the contact cements, so it is easier to spread large amounts, but it is also easier to get places you do not want it. Besides the bonding strength of the adhesives, 1 big benefit of the contact cement is removal of accidents. I have yet to find a leather that this does not work with. If you get a little Barge or Weld wood on the display side of your leather. Simply let dry a little and then rub it with your finger. It will come right off and leave no evidence behind. I recommend Barge because it is; very strong, very fast drying, very little wait time, very easy to clean, very easy to fix small mistakes. The only negative is the fumes.
Now I'm imagining DIRESTA as a luxury brand lol. Honestly the name and logo could work well for high end fashion
Another super cool video. I like your leather work videos. Oh Wait you are now sporting an Apple Watch. Hmmm.
Thank you!
Some of my pants have zippers, so they are familiar to me.
I really enjoy your leather work. To be honest I enjoy all your work. Thanks for taking the time to share. You have given me some ideas to try and make my own.
Thank you brother
Beautiful work jimmy the bags look very useful. Nice job and great voiceover. Thank you.
Love your work Jimmy, you're an inspiration!
Great video. It's all about the zipper and how it defined the design. Lovely design. You make it look so simple. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Fantastic work, Jimmy! I could see something like your creation being used as a laptop sleeve.
Well done Jimmy & those bags turned out looking great. I can guarantee you that if I were to try making a bag like that, it would not look anything like yours!
Love these JD that first one is gorgeous it looks super soft. I’d love one of these for holding valuables when I do craft shows 👍🏻
To leave the bag zipped to sew the sides, tie a string on the zipper pull and run the string to the hole on opposite side. To open zipper, grab bag closest to zipper pull and pull string from other side. Even though you used a layout/cut mat to glue zipper on, it could be a great solution for someone just doing it on their kitchen table or anywhere to keep the bag aligned a bit better. Just my 2 cents 🤷♂️
Great work Jimmy! I really want to see the R2T2 though! (R2TRASH2) It's a perfect crossover between you and Bob! and done right, would be hilarious even knowing it's coming 😂
That's just cool man. Making your own everything lol. Any suggestions for getting started with sewing? I inherited a Singer from the 80's and don't know where to begin. Maybe do a sewing machine tricks video like your bandsaw videos... you pretty much taught me everything I know 😂. Thanks man for all your inspiration and education ❤️💛💚
I don't think my Mom's old Singer* will do that thickness of leather reliably, but I've been making cloth zipper bags from upholstery remnants and they're handy for all sorts of things.
*It's still a beast of machine, but it's not a pro leather machine. What 1960's engineers thought you would need to sew cotton for the next 100 years.
Those bags look nice
Very nice job Jimmy. Really cool design. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon sir. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Nice machines! Your 303 will sew that bulky corner, I do this on an 1950’s Singer 111w155 and it sews through it. Again nice job and beautiful machines!
I'd be a little nervous using Mom's old Slant-O-Matic 402 on 3-4 layers of leather, though. Tempting to try someday.
My wife can’t wait to ask you about sewing projects at Maker Camp!
You'll find out when you start using the zipper by the yard that you don't need to spend the extra money for jacket zippers... as any zipper can be slipped together. That little tab on the jacket zipper just makes it easier, but zippers without the tab are just as doable. Besides, if your zipper is longer than your leather you don't need to take the zipper apart, it's just as easy to sew with the zipper all the way open but still attached at the end. 💖🌞🌵😷
Awesome video!
Biuti belli 👍🤩
that's Jimmy Voitton over there
Nice work as usual M. Diresta 👍🏻. I noticed you switched your Rolex to an Apple Ultra watch. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you make something that didn’t look amazing 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂
Money Pouches. Now you only need heaps of Money to fill them. 😀
Nice

If you sew your bags like Jimmy did (either with the leather tabs or inside you bag) you don't need those metal stops that he showed 0:20 💖🌞🌵😷
Lindas peças,parabéns .
What uses do you have in mind for these bags? Hardware? Dopp kits? Nice work!
Молодец 👍🏻
ممتاز

@jimmydiresta im a huge fan in London. It's it possible to buy one of the bags? And have it sent to London?
Hi Jimmy...any of these bags for sale.....I'm interested in the fourth one (smallest) if the price is right?
Please let me know...
Thanks in advance

What size thread were you using in the weaver 303?
👍😎🍺🍩🗜️🛠️
Are you going to use zippers in the walls of the graveyard house? 😆
That first bag does not match the shoes you need help buddy!
