Leathamy

Bagger seat complete. It will be on display next week in Muskegon at “Bike Times”, on my customers’ big wheel bagger with custom paint by Open Throttle Customs.

Thanks to Chad Boolman for choosing me to create this, and to Eric Malotke for the referral.

This was a team effort, with the help of my awesome husband. He’s got an amazing eye for detail and helped me with patterning and the upholstery stitching. He’s got lots more patience with the machine than me!

Hand tooled, both hand and machine stitched, airbrushed on the best leathers available.

Thank for looking!

Custom bag made for one of my favorite customers! She spotted the Merlot Buffalo leather side I posted awhile back and had to have it. She also loves black suede, so I incorporated that into the bag. Inner pocket and snap piece for her keys.

Completely hand made with all stuffs from the USA. 🤟🏼🇺🇸

Late night sketching. Can’t wait to tool this one!

I’m gonna miss this face! All packed, shipped and traveling about 900 miles to his owner, my fabulous customer.

Not gonna lie, this one challenged me! New tooling and airbrushing techniques were crazy-making me more than I cared for…. But, growth is good! All in all, I’m super thrilled with the way it turned out. All the boxes were checked in my vision for this piece.

Also, so very very VERY thankful for my husband as well as my teacher who stepped in to help me when I was ready to put everything leather related in trash bags and haul to the curb. Yes, tantrums were thrown. 😳😝 I‘m pretty good at tantruming! So, big thanks Brandon and Christian! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Most of all, thanks to Chris who chose me out of all the amazing leathersmiths out there. I’m super honored. A customer that it was an extreme pleasure to work for. Thanks, dude. 🤟

Hope you dig it!

It’s ALIVE!

Wrapping this monster up in the next few days! I’ll post up finals after it’s mounted on the seat pan and laced before it ships out to Kansas.

Some itty bitty fine tuning with the tooling to do yet, on the Frank chopper seat top. I’ll post most of the tools I used in comments. It’s confusing to most folks how this is achieved. It’s not burned or stamped, it’s actually carved into the leather.

I’m super happy how this is turning out! Most of the fine detail won’t show up, really, until I dye and antique. I’m excited to get to that step! Soon!!!!

Last gift done! Guys, this vintage cow leather is awesome. I’m out of it now, but pretty sure I’ll be ordering more on my next purchase from this company.

Now I can totally focus on orders due after the new year. What a relief!

So honored to be selected to pull together this soon-to-be chopper seat for an awesome bike builder! This is a new build to be revealed sometime next year.

The pics you see are my artwork for the seat top and bottom, and the pan I’m working with. Tooling to begin very soon, and I couldn’t be more excited!

Some fun surprises in store for this baby during final assembly!

I’m paraphrasing what I know Chris would say about it. “Like it or GFY”. 😆

Stay tuned for updates!

The least favorite vote for color combo, from a FB post poll. Not for everyone, for sure. I think it’s so fun!

I put tabs on the top of the interior pocket, in case the wearer wanted to thread a chain through and carry as a shoulder bag. Interchangeable, the chain can be put in or behind the pocket to tuck it out of the way. Shoulder strap? Wristlette? Choices/options are good!

Hand stitched with hot pink thread. Magnet closer. Super soft pebbled grain yellow interior. Size is 8-1/2” wide X 5” tall X 2” deep.

All materials made in our USA!

Another Christmas gift out the door!

This beauty has a custom tooled initial tag, and I totally spaced on getting a pic of the interior key holder assembly.

Beautiful vintage brown leather with solid brass hardware. All hand stitched and meticulously painted and finished polished edges.

Designed to last a lifetime!

I’m taking orders for mid January and on. Need a wallet? Belt? Custom bag? Motorcycle bags/seat? I got you!..

I’m pretty happy about it 😄♥️😁..

Such a fun bag! All packaged and shipping off to the Sunshine State today. I can’t wait to see pics of her rocking this one ♥️😍♥️ I’m sure she will let me share, so y’all can see how cute it is to carry.

Size is 9-1/2” on all the sides.

I lined the handle strap and interior with pink suede. I love pink and red together! ♥️💕♥️

It’s all hand made: stitched, edged. All materials and hardware made in the USA....

Progress over the last few weeks on a feather and floral piece. I’m about 25% through the tooling and hoping to finish that up within a week.

If it all works out with my vision, there will be a snakeskin inlay and fringe to make this a boho type handbag. Mixing it up!

Also….

I’ve only got a few spots left open, to guarantee a Christmas delivery.

Belt, wallet, bag, tote, tray, etc….

Surprise your loved one with a handmade, custom, one of a kind item. ♥️

I’ll also be making a dated ornament this year. I have many folks that have been ordering one every year. If you want on my list, let me know. 🎄.

Ironman tooled belt done right this time! Who knew there’s a right and left handed way to make belts? Well, I won’t be making that mistake again!!!

Double layer, hand stitched, airbrushed with matte top coats and edges make this a lifetime piece. I used Chicago screws, so the buckle can always be changed.

I made a . 😆..

Commissioned tote complete! Size is 10”x 10” x 5” deep. Interior phone pocket, as well as a key clip and pen holders. Fits an iPad perfectly. It’s got a soft feel but the leather is a firm hand. I mixed oil tan with veg tan leather that I hand dyed for a nice contrast of color and texture. I don’t want to give this one up! 😆

Two more piggy banks out the door, and one in the works. Good thing I love to hand stitch!
