Hello Mr. Porter, I have made several bags using your technique however, I can't seem to get the handle sewn properly so I just purchase ready made handles and they've worked. I love your tutorials. God bless you.
Beautiful work. I appreciate your skills and craftsmanship and you helping teach us more . God bless you and your family.keeping yourself healthy and well.

I am so glad I subbed to you a long time ago. I had watched a few of your videos then out of interest but never made a bag. I had recently started making some and was having a terrible time with the liner not matching up when sewing around the top of the bag. I knew I'd find the answer here! Thank you!

Hi Arthur, lovely stuff, thank you. . Hope you are good.
I am come from Taiwan, I made a red one follow your video, It's awesome, thank you very much..
Hello Arthur. I'm really enjoying your videos & learning so much. I'm totally NEW and anxious to learn, make and sell hand made products. I don't have a sewing machine yet, but did see your video about some proper one's to get. My husband and I want to sell leather jacket, specifically motorcycle jackets with more style! :-) I love what you have done and it's great to teach others your gifts.
Hello dawnie3081, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment, you for do very well with jackets, before you purchase a sewing machine, take a look at the Consew 206RB-6 with a Reducer and a Skiving machine, these two machines will make your work so easy.
Arthur

Hello William, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment!
Would love to see some of your designs!!
Arthur
Hey Mr. Porter, I sure am loving your videos! Thanks so much for making them. For this green bag with the cream accent, I don't think you would have had to struggle with boxing the bottom if the cream band was just a half-inch higher up....out of the seam allowance. I cannot wait to try your techniques and make a bag. Thank You!
Hello Gina, You are WELCOME and Than Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment, I think you are right, I will try your technique.
Arthur
Beautiful bag. Looks very clean. I noticed you didn't put in fiber board to help it stand on it's own, or Edge Kote on the raw edges, or metal feet on the bottom of the tote. It's a beautiful bag.
I have completed my 3rd project, and because of your teaching talents, it turned out very well.
I made a blood red/no gusset/with zipper purse. It is gorgeous. The only problem I dare say I had was with the top stitching that went around the zipper, it looks fine on the outside but the inside went off track, the stitch is a little wiggly here and there; do you have any suggestion for this?
Thank you again for your videos....keep them coming. God Bless.
Hello Judy, You are WELCOME and congratulations on completing your projects, if you can send me some pictures, so I can see how I can help, info@dallasdesigningdreams.org
Arthur

I love your videos, I'm learning so much. I'm new to working with leather and I don't have a walking foot but I'm going to try it on my regular sewing machine anyway. I noticed you love zippers and I d'ont. I was wondering how would I finish the top of that bag without a zipper.
Hello Nita, Thank you for watching our videos and for your compliment, you can use a magnetic clasp to close your bag.
Arthur
Great lesson brother,question the initial zipper on the bag itself ,how did you make the inside pocket?
Really nice bag. I'm going to try to make one in blue. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks again and God Bless..
Hello Mr. Porter,
I'm in love with your work and you've made me a happy sewer of leather. However, I did not see how you measure seam to seam for the top zipper; the camera did not show this. I am a visual aids learner. My first bag had many errors but now you've made me love making bags. I had to order the rivets but I am pressing forward on the rest of this bag. Thank you for inspiring me more.
Hello Pa Jo, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment, if you watch our video,

Hello John V, You are WELCOME and Thank you for watching our videos and for comment and for your compliment.
Arthur
hi Arthur, I'v been searching the internet trying to find where do you find leather at?

Hello Kathy, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment, we get most of our leather from Tandy Leather Factory and from The Hide House, I am using size 69 thread.
Arthur
Awesome Awesome I've learned soooo much watching your video Thank you

Wonderful job on this bag, do you sell any of these bags, if so what would be the price for a bag like this one :)
Good day Mr. Porter, I'm learning so much from you and like others before me have said "You are a wonderful teacher"! Your calming voice and encouraging words has given me confidence I have needed!
I do have a question for you. The green tote you are making in this video, is there a way to close the bag at the end of the zipper? I have made this bag and it turned out really nice but I have had a few folks ask for the ends to completely closed. I can't figure it out. Thanks again for your time and videos.
Hello Venus, You are so WELCOME and Thank for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment, there is away to do that, I will put that our our list to make a short video on how to make a bag with a fully close top with zipper.

Mr. Porter, you are great at making all the leather goods you make. I have just started lately. Making wallets and a few clutch purses. I am not smart enough to make my own patterns, so I buy patterns where ever I can find them. I have made a few bags, and have stumbled through them, no instructions. Do you sell your patterns? If so I can I see them and order them? Thanks you.

Hello Nancy, the company name is Cutex Sewing Supplies.
Arthur
I do watch your videos every day !!!!, they are awesome ,actually i was watching this video today, es perfect clear, the only thing is how to put in the bag if the end is different, without the piece of leather did you attach, i mean if the end of the strap is open to attach to the bag. Thanks again !!!.
Hello Del, some people will sew it to the bag and some will rivets, just like I put the strap taps on, that is same way you would sew the straps to the bag of rivet to the bag.
Arthur
I love the pulls on your zippers. I'm having trouble finding nice zippers. I'd also like to find some 1.5" grommets. Can you suggest any good sources for those kinds of things? Thank you for what you do!!

Mr. Porter, I appreciate your videos and lessons. I wanted to pass on that I use Weldwood Contact Cement. It can be purchased at Wal-Mart or Home Depot. It runs about $6 a quart. They also make a green label which is suppose to lower the fumes, but other have told me that it does not work as well as the red label. Thanks again!

Arthur, if you don't mind me asking, what size thread are you using? I have a 69 and 138 and was just wondering which size of thread I should use on these bags. Thank you so much for your videos, you do really good work and are so helpful. Tammy
Hello Tammy, start with the size 69, if you get a good looking stitch, go with the size 69, if your stitch are not consistent try the 138.
Arthur
Thank you for letting me know. Tammy
Hello Tammy, You are WELCOME.
Arthur
Good Morning,
i am working on completing this bag from your pattern that i purchased but i have a couple of questions if you please?
one where did you get your container for your glue with the brush if you remember?
second whee you purchase your separated zipper with the puller on it and do you ever created a leather puller to insert on your zipper vs the metal puller?
Again thank you so much for your videos and i hope that you see this comment and if not would someone be so kind if they remember him mentioning where the glue container was purchased from ?
Be Blessed in all your doing!
Hello supernatural child of God, It is always good to hear from you, hope all is well with you and your family, You are WELCOME and Thank you for supporting our programs by purchasing our patterns and for watching our videos, you can find the glue containers from Springfield Leather and yes sometime I will make a leather for my zippers.
Arthur
Do you ever use that coating for the leather edges? If so, do you have any recommendations?
Hello diamantebonita, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, we use Tandy Leather Factory edge coating.
Arthur
Hi Arthur , what is the name of the fabric you use as lining ? I also remember in another video you talked about a " fabric hardening " I plan on doing a bag with fabric but I would like it to have more of a stiff look ! where can I find that ? or is that even possible?
Hello dayana, Good to hear from you, The fabric is call Pique with a fusing on the back, I am not sure where to find it, someone donated it to us, if you google it, you can find sites that sale it, no sure if you will find that color.
Arthur
Beautiful video, learning a lot! May I ask where you can find the clips you are using?
Hello Melendu29, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment, we get the HDX 3/4 in. Mini spring Clamps from Home Depot.
Arthur
Thnak you
Great set of videos!
Hello Judith, Thank you for taking the time to watch out videos and for your compliment.
Arthur
Thank you for the video!
Hello Faye Lee, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos.
Arthur
Another great video. I love the fact that you document your thinking process, when making the purse. It is very helpful. I have a question on zippers. How do I know I am using a good quality zipper? I wouldn't want to sell a purse to a customer and have the zipper brake. Any hints would be much appreciated. Can't wait for your next video!!
Hello Dee, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, the one thing I always do is zip the zipper up and down to make sure it will work, YKK is a good zipper.
Arthur
Use heavyweight YKK zippers
Hi Arthur. I enjoyed very much your video and the bag you made. I was curious to what brown glue you used in the video. Thank you.
Hello Cassia, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, The glue I am using is a contact cement glue, the brand is DAP, you can get it from Home Depot or Lowe's
Arthur
Arthur Porter thanks for The answer. Love your vídeos!
I love your leather rouleaux technique with the piping, tried that last week and did not work out for me so well, I am going to have to try your method. This is another great Video to add to your collection, Thank you again and got you pinned and passed along:)
Hello Kelly, This was my second time making this handle, once I got the zipper foot for our machine, it was easy to do.

Arthur, on this bag what is the ounces of your leather your using on both colors and, can you use a regular sewing machine with a leather needle to sew this bag together or do you need to use the industrial sewing machine with a walking foot? Love your videos, hope to see more new videos I am learning so much from you now I just need to buy my supplies and get started but needed to know if I needed a industrial walking foot machine first before I could attempt making a bag. I will be sending you a blank email for a supply and tool list if that's okay. Thank you so much for all you do for everyone. Tammy
Hello Tammy, I have sent you a supply list and a spread sheet.
Arthur
Thank you for the details. An out of style leather coat is going to become a tote.

Arthur
question when you're making a tote bag i know I'm probably saying the name wrong Gusset the sides and i do know it has a lot too do with the width what is the width and length if that makes sense learning Thanks
Hello Sylivia, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, I do understand your question, if you watch our video, how to make a messenger and computer bag, look 19:26 sec you will see how to add a gusset.
Arthur
I fell asleep watching tv and I’m 2 and a half hours into the vid and now I’m invested
СПАСИБО!
very Welcome
i made one last night turned out beautiful but did the straps but put it in wrong will do another to night
Hello Sylvia, Congratulations and Thank you for watching our videos.
Arthur
Another question i know you're get back with me first how are you fine I hope i want to know my lining fix perfect at top but inside the purse it's too much fabric maybe it the type of fabric can you tell me what I'm doing WRONG THANKS
Hello Sylvia, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and congratulations on making your bag, you did not do anything wrong, the problem is with the instruction thatI did not give in the video, the way to correct it, when you flip the lining into the bag, the lining will become shorter than the bag, cut your lining about 1 1/2" shorter that the bag.
Arthur
