As is tradition here, instead of a new pattern for December, I have published a value bundle of patterns. This year is the Star Lord bundle! This includes the GotG Vol. 2 gaiters and belt, as well as the helmet and 3D models of the belt hardware. All of this for $18 less than the total value of the patterns. (Man! I need to find a better-looking model to display my products, lol)
With that out of the way, it is time I make a couple announcements:
If you've been following Leviathan Leatherworks for a while, you know that for the last 6 months or so I have been struggling to keep up with my intended pace of 1 pattern per month. This is down to many factors, including my day job and personal life, but also because I have been trying to expand the business to offer more, and more varied, products!
TL;DR, I have been pushing myself too hard recently and it's starting to show.
I have been doing a lot of thinking, praying, and consulting friends and family, and have come to a solution for the foreseeable future:
1) I am going to take a two-month break from pattern-making, both to recover and to prepare for the birth of my daughter in late January.
2) Moving forward, for at least 2024, I will be stepping down my pattern production from 1/month to 1 every two months. This should give me the much-needed time to both maintain product quality and work on expanding the business.
If you read this far, thank you! Your support means more to me than you know. If you want to support me further, just keep engaging, buy the occasional pattern, and please show me more of what you make! It always makes my week to see what someone else has made with one of my patterns.
