I initially made this shape in Illustrator but cut it out using more traditional pattern-making methods.

    • I use lllustrator to start. If something has more complicated dimensions or if I want to do parametric design, I’ll use Fusion 360.

  2. Sounds really good. It’s still a dream of mine to do a course with Fine Leatherwork. I am not sure when, but hopefully in the near future. I look forward to it.
