CowboyDan Report post Posted April 10, 2012 Howdy from Pennsylvania. I've done a few projects in leather a few years ago, and am just getting back into it. My parents got me the Basic Kit from Tandy for Christmas one year while I was in college. I think they ended up regretting that! There was many an evening where the rest of the family endured my pounding as a live background soundtrack to their movie. Anyway, I've done some smaller carving projects, and some sewing/lacing projects. I've attached a few pictures of some things I've done. The butterfly became a hair thingy for a friend's baby sister. The flower is something I drew up and cut, but never got a chance to stamp. The chaps were something I made for a friend and I. (I'm the bearded one) My masterpiece (thus far) is a purse I made for my sister. She used it every day for 6 years up till about 6 months ago. The hair-on hide started losing the hair, so she doesn't use it every day now. I've done a few other things; guitar strap, knife holster, cell phone cases, and most recently a multi-tool case. After about a 5 year hiatus, I'm getting back in this saddle. Got a leather-working bench built, and am trying to figure out how I want to do diaper bags. I have two bags to do for my brothers wives before the end of the year. Apparently there's something in the air! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LNLeather Report post Posted April 12, 2012 Yes, Welcome to Leatherworker.net! You are gonna love it here - so much information is available... I agree with you on your masterpiece. Did you design the horse heads, or was that part of the project pattern? Too bad the hair is coming off... I would use it anyway. Very Very Nice!

There is a 'quilting with leather' book that I got from Tandy, and that's where I got the pattern. It's quite intricate. Took FOREVER to sew. The whole purse was sewn by hand.
