Hello From Colorado And Soon To Be Delaware

Recommended Posts

Hi,

My name is Sean, I have recently gotten serious in learning leather craft, I am mostly interested in making belt pouches, notebook cover, small cases eventually working my way up to messenger bag sized items but that is a bit down the road. I started out with a lock stitch awl and trying to make a wallet I could use, which was disappointing, then tried a larger heavier pouch, which was my first attempt at saddle stitching, also disappointing. I have now decided to start off the right way and bought the art of hand sewing leather, and am going to ease into projects this time around, trying to learn the correct way of doing things to make this an enjoyable hobby/obession, instead of just a means to an end. I look forward to your experience and any input you can give me, sadly no completed projects to show, but hopefully soon.

Hi Sean,

I run a custom leather shop in Berlin, MD just outside of Ocean City. If you're down this way, give me a call and stop by the shop. I'd be glad to give you a few pointers on getting started. All my contact info is on my website at www.tstarleather.com I learned a lot from helpful leather workers when I got started and like to pass it along.
