Below are links for the tools and notions I used in this video. Most of these sources are in the UK so if you're located outside the UK you'll want to find a supplier local to you. I'm not affiliated with any of the products or suppliers listed below, except Wattle & Slate who provided the canvas to me for free as part of a strike sew. These may not be the best suppliers available, but they're the ones I've found good to use.
