I am super excited to find this website! I found you guys when I was googling info about a sewing a machine I just purchased. I was lucky enough, after over 2 years, to finally get the industrial walking foot I have been searching for! Seriously, I almost cried. I feel like I could sew anything (hopefully the cat stays clear of me!!)
I have been sewing most of my life and I come from a long line of women who like to take an art form and make it as complicated and detailed as possible, so needless to say I got hooked on leather working pretty quickly. I also have a background of about 15 years in beading and other forms of jewelry making. And I am one of those nutcases who is trying to make leather working their career. I sell custom corsets and also a whole lot of other accessories. Anyways, I'm really happy to be here and I'd love to learn more about various equipment as well as some techniques to mold thicker leathers like veg-tan while they're wet. Does this technique have a specific name?
Here's some of my work on the rather attractive Tamara Mitchell. Also feel free to take a look at some others I uploaded to my albums!
