In this video I’m taking you along for the full DIY Babylon Leather phone bag making process, start to finish. If you’ve ever fancied having a go at leatherwork but felt a bit intimidated, this kit makes it feel really doable because everything arrives pre-cut and pre-punched (honestly, that part is such a relief). I walk you through the steps in a very real-life, vloggy way, and I share the little tips and tricks I’ve picked up that are helpful no matter which of their bags you choose. What I love about this sort of project is that you get that gorgeous handmade finish without needing a whole workshop of tools. The designer kit includes the leather pieces and hardware, and the only extra bits you need are a lighter and a pair of pliers, so it’s very “make it at home” friendly. If you’re a sewist like me (especially if you’re used to thinking in steps and construction order), you’ll enjoy the process—just think of it as a different kind of making. And of course, I’ve popped my discount link and the kit link below so you can grab the exact one I used if you want to follow along.
