Is there a standard direction for the zip slider on a bag with a side handle? I think I have put it the wrong way around on this one! How long is too long a thread for saddle stitching? I have been practicing a few things on this bag. Rolled edges, piping (I made it by hand skiving a peak down the middle of a longish strip of leather and folding), attaching zips, just using what I have to hand. The handle is too low but it gets a bit too bulky to where I had intended to put it. To get around piping part of this bag in one go it would have taken 4 meters+ of thread. I tend to not go above 2 meters at a time as it seems so much slower to go bigger that an arms span. Is this just me being a newbie? Does it make sense to do it in 1 go?

Hello, I've been seeing some products where the interior of the wallet/pouch is stitched with a thread color different from the exterior (see image). How is this done? Do I stitch the interior to the zipper first, and then the whole thing to the exterior? But then won't the holes from the interior stitching get in the way of the exterior stitching? Would love some enlightenment. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, im wondering if anyone has any good tips to create a straight edge on a new hide. I’ve seen Few YouTube videos etc but I still seem to be slipping up somewhere. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello Peter! Some of your cross-bodies have a beautiful webbing belt. I wondered if you could reveal how to shape the end of the webbing when attaching it to the leather strap holding the hardware- it's so nicely curved. Keep well!
