I got into leatherworking about six years ago with the end goal of making a saddle. Tandy's basic kit and a belt blank got me hooked. I'm really lucky to have had some awesome teachers, and a series of internships got me interested in fashion. I took a hiatus from leatherworking to learn to make dresses, but I started messing with some leather recently and remembered how much I love it! I really enjoy working with exotic leather and interesting textures.
