    Great video - many thanks for the plans and resources. You asked for project feedback - please consider a video on making custom knife sheaths for folding knives (not long blades). I inherited a number of old Bear & Sons and Case vintage pocket knives. I'm going to restore the folding knives and would like to make a new, custom, knife sheath for friends. My way of giving the knives a second chance and a new sheath to encourage use. Thanks for listening. Best to you all at Sailrite.

    Sailrite, this video for a tote coincides with a letter I was going to send you. You would be the perfect company to sell bag hardware. You already sell useful bag fabrics and the following are natural additions: D rings, Triangle rings, swivel hooks, slider buckles and the plethora of rivets, metal snaps, magnetic snaps, key fob ends etc. With rivets, how about a rivet-setting tool like the KAMsnap or Goldstar table presses? You already sell the YKK zippers, how about adding the YKK Metaluxe zips for a metal look that's plastic for easier sewing? There is HUGE audience just waiting...

    • @SailriteWorkbench
      @SailriteWorkbench  5 місяців тому +2

      We love your idea of adding a cloth liner to the leather tote bag! It's funny you should mention it, as we've been considering updating our project design, and a liner is definitely on our list. We encourage you to try it and add your own spin to the project. Thanks for your suggestion, and happy crafting!

    I'm surprised to see sailrite bitting the bug. Now if I can get one of your sewing machines, with worker B motor, that sews up to 6 oz. my life would be golden. 😉

    how well do the leather feet work on the Lsz1? I purchased them and have not tried them out yet.

    • @SailriteWorkbench
      @SailriteWorkbench  2 роки тому

      If you are working with a leather that easily mars/marks, the foot is invaluable. The knurling may still leave a slight track but the knurling is necessary so that the foot still has enough grip to climb up varying thicknesses.

      We have the pattern and measurements at 00:59. We only made the pattern in inches so we would recommend converting the measurements into cm with a measurement converter calculator. Good luck with your project. Happy Sewing!

      Not for this bag, but we are working on a new tote bag pattern that will be a free template.

    I have tons of such bags, bcz they don't make those mini plastic grocery bags anymore... & They were Much More usable than these clunky grocery store bags. We're supposed to "Save this planet," by not having the little grocery bags of plastic.... then you have to Buy mini Plastic bags for your waste baskets. 🤷🤷🤷 Makes No sense at all. 🙄. Now I have to get "Tall kitchen garbage bags," ... Which is More plastic !! & So much for "saving the trees," !! They now have paper bags at the checkout, if you only have a few items... 🙄🙄
