Pattern marking system EXPLAIN - for newcomers (printable PDF)

Hey there, fellow leather crafters! 👋

So, you might be looking at all the markings on my pattern thinking,

"Whoa, what does this all mean?!"

No worries, I got you covered! I've put together a super handy visual guide just for you. It explains my marking system so you can whip up your awesome leather projects without a hitch.

You should get this guide if:

• You want to take a peek of my pattern before purchasing
• You bought my pattern and are confused
• You're a pattern designer and you want to adopt the system (you're welcome😉)

Highlights for the guide

• This guide is totally free
• Printable A4 files, perfect for keeping by your side while you work
• It breaks down everything
  • where to trim and align pieces
  • what those slanted lines and distances mean for your stitches (they're 3.85mm apart, and 4mm is a good general stitch distance!).
  • the IDs for different pieces
  • areas to skive
  • where to place buttons
  • stress relief points
  • and even where to fold
• Plus, there's a little tip on whether to punch your holes before or after gluing

Video Guide

To make things even easier, there's a video guide (also linked in the PDF) that walks you through using the markings on a project.
