Some of the worst sewing I have done! there is something to be said for a worktable vs a log beside the campfire! I have 11 other stool frames to slowly make up for sale. anyone got any ideas on what I should charge for these? (on the presumption my stitching will be up to standard on the rest) I have looked on etsy etc but can't find anything similar out there for a comparable price :-(© © leatherworker.net

felt hats are done with 'blocks' maybe try doing some reading on how else the felt hat people shape theirs when they don't have blocks available? http://melbournehatblocks.com.au/products.php?c=2 http://www.hatblocksbydesign.com.au/products http://www.hatblocks.co.uk/brimblocks.html#Tunedupbrims Natalie

I saw the morgan oak at lefflers last time I was there! there where some nice hides !! .. and a couple I wouldn't have picked if I was choosing. Do you go in and select yourself ? or mail order? They are out of my price range until I start selling a bit more stuff, but its given me something to compare with in the mean time and seeing as how I can get in to hand pick, I just spend ages going through the 'cheaper' options till I find something usable.

That linked pdf file is great for an explanation on the cutting ends of needles ... thanks for that Natalie

By using flash.. your are ruling out anyone with an "i" device (ipad, iphone etc) and most mobile devices as well.. flash just don't work well from a 'gadget'. In a few years time I strongly suspect 'flash' will no longer exist because of mobile usage. (that was me wearing my computer tech hat) Natalie

Blue Water Dragon
Ladykahu commented on Mrs Barry Hicks's gallery image in Our Leatherwork Galleries
LOVE that eye detail! is it embossed in or painted? They are all looking really great. this one kinda has a 'looking down his nose at you' feel about it from the photos :-) Natalie -
I have ordered via email from them. I live in australia and got my order just fine. very well packaged (it was a used box, but as a greenie I like that) and in the usual time from for something from america. Looks like email orders might be the better idea with them. I will be ordering further things through them, as they seem to be the only ones who will ship me 'flammable' items. Natalie

Newb With A Question - Where Did I Go Wrong?
Ladykahu replied to cbeatti2's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I wouldn't throw it out. Go for a dark dye and hope it hides the blemishes.. and complete the purse, you will learn a LOT along the way just doing the process.. which might stop you goofing up something else on your second one. I would try and dip dye, so you get really good soakage from the dye to cover the differences in leather. Natalie -
Gotta love this forum !!! Only here would someone go and shoot a bit of leather for someone else to see what it really looks like ! Gave me a good chuckle thanks guys

Sewing Thin Leathers On Regular Sewing Machine
Ladykahu replied to SnappingDragon's topic in Sewing Leather
Hi Sorry to hijack a little.. but its in the same vein... Do hand crank singer home machines work on thinner leather? The old style treadly type ones.. I am thinking about doing a few months bus tour around aus.. and would like to take a machine with me. Natalie -
I received my order for a few bits an bobs from Birdsall leather on wed.. only to find they had sent the wrong size buckle blank. I popped onto the website to contact them and let them know, saying I was happy to keep the large and would order more smalls.. if they would please actually send me the smalls! Got an email today saying they would send me the smalls free of charge and sorry for the mix up! Gotta love service like that. Birdsall Natalie

Leather Tooling Version Of Writers Block
Ladykahu replied to newfiebackflip's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
These guys do a fantastic range of 'metalic' colours that work really well http://www.jacquardproducts.com/products/paints/lumiere/colors.php they have a great brass that I used on my grandsons canon on the belt I made him. Natalie
