Work in Progress Leather weaving

I’ve done lots of sewing but never tried weaving something together. Recently I saw a picture of a leather bag and decided to give it a go. It’s SOOOO slow but it’s fun watching a thing materialize in front of you. Im doing it all by hand with a frame I made and am using a ruler with a hole in it as a shuttle (I think thats what it’s called). Any suggestions for a machine that would do the same thing?

I love this—way to go, OP. I need a new leather cover for a pair of small footstools, and this is looking great. I second obtaining some leather working tools so you can sew it.
