Thank you! My favourite channel is Hahns Atelier. His craftsmanship and video editing is out of this world. I also watched Little King Goods when I started out. And I have a YouTube channel too with some beginner videos. I’d recommend the video on tools and the card wallet which explains how to do a saddle stitch

Thanks! Advice: just try it out and don’t be discouraged when the first couple of projects turn out badly, it’s part of the process! For tools, a rotary cutter or exactly knife will suffice to start out. You will also want to get a pricking iron to make stitching holes. I made a video a while back where I share the tools I use. I would link it here but I think it’s against the sub rules. My YouTube channel is linked in my Reddit profile tho. Good luck! Also, since you want to make a belt or knife sheath, I recommend using veg tan leather. It’s thicker and stiffer and easier to work with than chrome tan
