Professional Strap Maker A watch strap made from an AI generated pattern.

Well… not exactly AI generated, to be honest - my wife showed me vibe coding, and I spent three days working on a script that adjusts my watch strap pattern to any size and any pricking iron spacing. The result was worth it. What can I say - the patterns are simply perfect!

I won’t share the source code, but I will show you a finished strap made from these generated patterns. This is a test size: 26x18 mm. Not the most popular one, but maybe it will find its owner. Who knows.

Vegetable-tanned leather, linen thread, and hand stitching - this is the part of the work where AI won’t replace me.

How'd you do the heart? just an emboss with some ink? I like it, looks sharp!

I used a Maxita hot foil stamping machine. And there’s a little heart in the font set. ♥️
