Learned to hand stitch leather in the CG late 60s. Since have made and repaired a lot of dog leashes and collars and made a bunch of belt knife sheaths. I would say my work is about 80% of a good saddle makers quality, if I can get to both sides of the work. Leg of Mutton most of the stitches are blind inside side and a missed aligned stitch is very obvious when it comes out on the outside.
Work Stan posted is very very good way better than anything I could do. Alignment is perfect you can't see any flaws.I have a couple of LOMs that need repair and would not work on them myself. Anybody that thinks you can watch a you tube and turn out good work is misinformed
