In this Project video, I show you how to make a Leather Apple Watch Band. I finally took some time to sit down and design three different styles based audience request. The Apple Watch is extremely popular and having a custom leather watch band made for them is a common request.
Our goal with this video is to show my process for making the three different styles and to hopefully help anyone try their hand at making these. If you are looking for that perfect Christmas item to offer to your customers as gift ideas, then this is a great one.
As with all of our Project Videos, we have created a Companion Pattern Pack. In this pack, you will find all the cut patterns for all three styles as well as 6 different tooling patterns for each style.
