I appreciate you sharing, in such depth, your experience and skills. It is amazing that people like you, allow us folks at home, free access to such an education that would be otherwise be difficult to find. I am an industrial designer, but work in consumer products, and do not have experience with pattern making and sewing. I would love to start designing bags and working with leather and other heavy fabrics in my own time. With such an extensive library of content, on your channel alone, I am confident it is a skill I could pick up at home, with practice! I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for making these videos, and the work you do in your community! It is much appreciated!
