Hey Gigi, at the moment i use the old leather, which is leftover. But some good shops are rickert-werkzeug.de (free shipping in Germany and super-fast delivery) and ledermacher.de. Maybe we will see us in september in Schlierbach/Austria? Rene Berends workshops are really great, he is an brilliant teacher! Vana

Hello Dwight, thanks for your welcome Fortunately i have low costs in this hobby up to now. My father bought on his journey in the USA in the 70s so many tools for leathercrafts (he was interrested too), so i don't need to buy any hardware.. Even leather is leftover. Only i'm not sure about the old dye, but i'll try it. For my crafts above i used new one. Vana

Hello Black Dog, do you know Waldenbuch near Stuttgart? I call my hometown "Ritter-Sport-Hausen" because of the chocolate. You're right, i've just noticed that every free time i'm thinking about patterns, dying an of course tooling. Now i'm looking forward to september when the next workshop is coming, subject will be my first bag. Until there i'll practise, practise, practise. Actually i'm tooling a belt for my father with the excersise pattern above. Pictures will follow. Vana
