Not all the way through the video, but can I just say: your dad's garage is 100% aesthetic garage goals

I don't know if educator's abilities can be inherited, but you seem to have managed that! Both you and your dad have a real knack for explaining things. The color is lovely and I do hope you end up recreating Emma's outfits (the ombre ribbon gown maybe?). Looking forward to your next projects.

If your dad made a channel just to upload videos of him painting leather I would watch it all day😂 this was so satisfying to watch!

Brilliant suggestion. I would totally watch Mariah’s dad dye leather!

I loved that! What a great insight into your dad's workshop and trade. I love watching skilled leather workers do their job. And the shoes turned out fab! On a side note, I agree with your mini rant... I'm from a tradie family (plumbing) and have gone to uni. In my case this was a conscious decision to become a scientist and not a 'least worst option' kind of scenario. But the number of Chemistry students I see who just picked that subject because they didn't know what else to do is astounding and a bit sad. Why would anyone spend the money to go to uni without having a passion for the subject? Maybe they'd be awesome at a trade and they don't even know it. Why isn't there more information in schools to help with student's decisions? Also, like you said, trades people are not poor! Actually, they'll make more money than most uni graduates ever will. Such a broken system (in some countries at least). Okay rant over. Hope you get lots of wear out of those gorgeous shoes. Can't wait to see what costumes you'll make to go with them.

it's the same here in portugal, I luckily stumbled on printmaking and found what I want to do and what I feel like I'm good at/love enough to learn like a sponge. but I have no idea where to find a cobler or a leather repair person here. I need to dix my boots actually and I have zero idea where to find one. it's a shame I know where to buy leather itself but not who can repair leather items 🙄

i go to a trade school and im well aware of the money they make, im astounded people can think theyre poor

I love watching any tradesperson do their job, there's always somethng to learn that can be applied something, whether it be fixing your own toilet or "borrowong" a technique for a craft!

6:20 all excellent points, I super agree that we as a society need to value the trades more than we do. College isn't the be-all and end-all and there should be no stigma or shame attached to sending you kids off to be plumbers or cobblers or electricians or w/e.

Oh I loved when your dad explained the differences between dye and paint, because in my language (Dutch) we have one word for both: verf!

They are gorgeous and it was awesome to meet your father! Can definitely see his influence on your personality; any girl would be proud to call him Dad!

I’ve been thinking of dyeing my white boots a Victorian blue color since I got them. I may hold off at the moment but will try in the future since I want them to be perfect. Very informative video, thanks.

Very helpful and good advice, and I just love your dads workspace! I've used a regular dish sponge for adding dye to leather in the past, it works but can easily get uneven if you're not careful. Will definitely try a foam roller next time. My best tip is to try the dye on a piece of scrap leather so you get a feel for its texture and how it behaves, if you get a new brand of dye or just is out of practice.

WOW. Ive been looking at those boots and thinking about dying them yellow for awhile myself. Im just debating if they would get much wear. Im not normally a yellow wearer. But, this is great! I’m always loving your videos. I think our taste are just so similar. And funny enough my husband is from that area in IL.

Those came out beautifully! I loved learning about leather dye from you and your father. I have no projects that include work like this at the moment, but now I know about it the options are endless! Thank you.

Oh they are so beautiful! Here's my favorite thing about your channel - it's not just that you make pretty things (which is, in itself, a good enough reason to watch KZread videos, I think), it's that there's so much effort put into trying to convey knowledge in the best way possible. From the way you draw up diagrams, to the close-up shots, to how you (and guests) present information, it's all so wonderful to see. Also, coming from a family of tradesmen, it was lovely to see knowledge being passed down in such a familiar way - we're the same way in my family, and any time they teach me something, it feels so precious, especially given the way products are made today. All in all, a lovely video to always come back to.💕

What a great video. I love how you incentives (that's the word? lol) repairing and reuse not in a theoretical manner but show us in your actual life. (Sorry about my English, it's very early and I'm on my fone 😂). Say thank you to you dad for us, for sharing his knowledge (again, that's the word?) .

WAIT, CENTRAL ILLINOIS! That's so cool! It's so nice to hear about people that are from the area where I was born and raised! (I promise I'm not trying to be creepy, but there's very few youtubers from the area!) Love the video! My dad would probably get along with yours as my dad has about a million projects and he knows how to do vintage car upholstery. I'm glad I got to see a bit of what feels like my own family and life in your video!!!!!

So cool to see that you're from Central IL! I live in Virginia now but I'm from Quincy and my parents still live there. I'll tell them that if they need any leather/vinyl work done that they can call your dad :) Thanks for sharing this lesson with us - I learned a lot.

I wish I had a Daddy that was as sweet, knowledgeable, helpful (and alive!) as Ms Pattie's Daddy.

I have used Argus which is great for the hobbyist. The foam roller is a fabulous tip!

This is fantastic! Thank you from someone who loves real leather and has been desperately trying to salvage a piece. Also your dad has great taste in comic book posters.

Hi..Your Dad is So Awesome! Watched about 30 vids & This is thee BEST Dye job I've seen! So Even! No spots! And that Color is Exquisite 👌🏾. The Finish is Perfection. Thanks for sharing

I'm only part way through the video but I had to pause when I read you mini rant. I agree with everything you say! Trade is good and I think people will change their mind about sending their children to university by default in the future ❤

It was so neat to hear your dad talk about his speciality. It’s so soothing and interesting to hear people talk about something they’re extremely well versed in. And the color match is masterful. Also, I thought his accent was similar, but it is wild that it is as nearby as central Illinois. Small world, huh, and will keep his business in mind if my car obsessed uncle speaks up on his projects.

Nice meeting your Dad. Maybe you can follow in his footsteps and continue the practice. Add that to your many talents.

There’s colour matching based on knowing the colour wheel - useful and transferable; and colour matching based on knowing the limited tints/paints you consistently work with, and knowing them extremely well. When my job was tinting paint, I read and considered the formulas the computer gave for every can of paint I tinted. It’s a major shortcut, because you start to learn the proportions, and see patterns and “rules” you wouldn’t have expected. Is there green tint in your green paint? Sometimes. But it’s probably almost entirely black and straw, some yellow and some blue. And no formula for blue existed without red or fuchsia in it. Apparently they’re necessary, to make the blue opaque and give it depth - especially in deeper shades without white - which has good opacity. Read enough formulas, and you can understand the proportions to do custom tints. It’s absolutely fascinating and I definitely miss that aspect of the job. My highly attuned knowledge of those particular 14 tints is rendered only moderately relevant when mixing colours at home for any other purpose, but it’s like reading ten times as many recipes as you actually make, and absorbing an understanding of how the ingredients interact. Particularly since my understanding was based on choosing the right number, and having a machine dispense precisely that amount of tint. Developing the eye and hand coordination to manually dispense the amount you want, is another whole level of old school knowledge.

I love it when people know their stuff.

Hi, this was great,please can you say thank you to your Dad for sharing this information and being on your channel, my Nan was a leather worker so it's a subject dear to my heart,💖

The color looks lovely! If they’d offered the Emmas in that color I might have gone with it. I instead got the oxblood color because I love red shoes. Excited to see any Emma projects.

I was literally talking with someone about this yesterday. Wow the timing on this one lol.

Now I want to custom dye some shoes…

Very cool episode. Many thanks to your dad!

Loved your "Mini - Rant" ❤️ You are exactly right! And, your Dad needs a channel!

This was awesome and so informative! Thank you for bringing your father on to share his craft and expertise. The boots turned out so lovely and I cannot wait for a full "Emma." recreation whenever it happens!

Great video! I love seeing these kinds of niche craft things, they're so interesting!

They look spot on to me and I always get 100% on color tests ☺️ Fantastic job and thanks for this incredibly detailed and informative video!!!!

I totally understand your comment about funneling kids into college. At my school, from what I understand, counselors (the people in charge of helping kids schedule classes, graduate, and make career plans) are judged by how many of their students get accepted into a college. This obviously means they tend to push students more towards the college route. It also doesn't help that basically everything you do in Highschool is designed to make you "college ready" Now, luckily there is a nearby trade school that is heavily advertised, but my brother, who went there for a while, still said he felt pressured to go to college, despite that not being what he wanted. Also, colleges are super expensive these days, and when my brother went to the trade school, because they were trying out a new curriculum, it was basically free.

Loved this Thanks both to your dad and you for teaching us. Its easy to get impatient but you both show the importance of following the steps correctly

I have a 1990s Coach bag I want to dye and this video gives me the confidence I need to start the project. Thanks!

Wonderful job❤️. I enjoy watching your attention to detail.

What a fun addition to your usual content! Wonderful video, as always. Keep up the great work!

Your dad is so cool, it's clear you've inherited his creativity and skills! This video is super helpful, I have some projects this is really going to help me with 😊❤️

Fascinating! So good to have an expert explain things. I might even do it one of these days.

This is all so helpful!! I'm definitely going to be dyeing my newly-acquired ivory leather AD "Hartfield" boots and I will be watching this again when I decide to tackle that!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing your dad's awesomeness with us.

Love that creativity runs in the family!

Wow, that was such an interesting and really fun episode! I am always so thrilled with all the projects that you do. One reason is because you are so incredibly talented! Other reasons are because you fully share share your knowledge, and creative processes . I am a huge believer in sharing knowledge! It never takes away from the person who has "said knowledge or skills" (as many people believe) but strengthens and reinforces your own, and whomever you share it with. You should be very proud of yourself for all you have shared with so many! Now, truth is you are like a Ninja when it comes to your patterning formulas! And, now I think we just got a glimpse into where some of those mad skills come from! Your Dad is awesome!! Cheers to all his talented work as an amazing Tradesman 👏 🙌 👍 ❤ and a special thanks to the amazing daughter he has. I have to also say, thanks for the nod to how needed, talented and capable Trades worker's are ! I have been on my soap box for the better of 35 year's about how talented, important and under appreciated they are. Lastly, but definitely not least; your shoes turned out so beautiful 😍 With sincere respect, Audri

I can't express how much I'd like to thank both you and your Dad for this tutorial. The trick with the marble in the paint container is pure genius, and that's only one thing I gleaned in the first watch. Those shoes are Stunning. _Elevator Pitch_ - Is your Dad is interested in a side-side-side gig to do leather tutorials here on The You Tubes... Seriously. There is a desperate need for leather artisans who can explain things clearly while going through the order of operations. You would definitely have at least one subscription... I fell into a leathercraft shaped rabbit-hole late last year. The standard YT leather how-to's makes me appreciate Cos Tube all the more because I'm basically teaching myself how to do French/English style stitching and design (I dream of a Burkin-ish purse with pockets). Ms. Mariah, you cover more ground and pack in more information into one video than the YT leather boys do in a whole project series. Would your Dad be interested in joining in on the fun? Just, uh, asking for a friend... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Good job, they turned out great!

Your dad is really nice, I love his garage. No wonder you also like to trying out new thinks without fears

Wow great video!

This was fun! Leather dyeing looks easier then I was expecting

Beautiful! And your mini rant: 💯!

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm going to be dyeing a pair of AD shoes myself and this has been a great help

How to get a small boy person to do a craft... maybe he could make a friendship bracelet for Fathers Day? You got a beading loom? If you can't find them, Beaded Dreams in Ottawa can ship by mail (they also have the extra long, extra thin needles). Maybe he could bead weave you a bracelet, or choker? And one for Mum? Or maybe one for his favorite teacher?... spit-balling... If you goal-orient the craft to the person to give it to? Make one for himself and the next for someone else? That way he can keep his favorites... Computer/screen free time is absolute gold these days... ask him to start drawing some things he'd like to make, maybe? Then he can show (and explain) what he's thinking about? As for you - keep moving the piles around, something will budge eventually. I believe in you...

That was very interesting! I have been playing with the thought of re-dying leather...but I wasn't quite sure, if it was possible to get a professional looking result at home. So this helps a lot!

Fantastic video! I don't need to dye leather at the moment, but it was very informative nonetheless. Rant away about tradesmen. It always irks me that college/university is pushed so hard. There is nothing wrong with taking up a trade. In fact, we really really really need more tradesmen.

It wasn't until 13:30 where you can see dye on your legs from working on the shoe laces that I even thought about the possibility of getting dye on your clothes. I was like... "Oh no, your dress!" :o Anyways, great tutorial on dyeing leather. And I agree with you on the value of trades. Those with their journeyman tickets always seem to find plenty of work, live a good lifestyle, and aren't burdened by a mountain of debt when they finish their training.

Thank you : )

very helpful! thanks ^-^

Totally about the loss of trades. I just had this conversation today. How instead of getting things fixed one almost has to just buy new because no one fixes things. We have clocks that I’d like to be repaired, but there is no one readily available. We don’t even have easily found tailors. (Which is frustrating when KZreadrs or people in big cities say, … “just take to a tailor ….” I’ve said for a long time that college isn’t for everyone. My communication degree was useless. Would have been better off with a welding skill and could work on home art projects, fixed things, …. We live in Evansville, so seems like not far from your dad.

You can get a foam roller 1/2 that length from Annie Sloan - it's exactly the same roller but 1/2 the length. Annie Sloan is a world wide supplier of DIY chalk based paint and other paraphernalia (like gilding waxes) used by furniture artists. Your father might enjoy trying out a roller and handle (solid wood handle with a metal end which I like much better than the plastic version) suited more to what he's using since he's only using only 1/2 of the one he has. Annie Sloan is only sold by local vendors. To find one, just look up someone in your area online. The handle comes with a foam roller on it and, if you want more rollers, they're sold in sets of 7 (I think). I've tried the ones at the big box stores and these are better... to me.
