A client swung by to pickup her ourse repair. Started asking a few questions about this tote bag repair.
I was struggling to get the stitch holes aligned.
She asked why I use the old holes.
Great question!
Here is what the bag looks like. Those holes will not go away. So if I make new ones, I’ll be making a spot that easily tears.
I want the repair to last. So I take the time to align the old holes with the new parts. I have to do it by hand. I stab myself….a….LOT! But it’s ok. It’s gonna last really well!
And I do custom made leather items too!
