Hi my name is Kim!
I am in Wisconsin and have begun working with leather just this year...wow what a road its been (why did I not find this forum sooner?) I am making guitar straps with beading on them...I love it but really need to start to sell them and find all the best ways of working with cutting of leather, punching, dying tips, piping etc.
I was a seamstress working on fabrics when I had this bright idea to go into leatherwork, (have sewn my fare share of Renaissance Fest costumes over the years)
Well I love this leather work, but I still need lots of advice!
The local Tandy store guys have been helping me so far (thanks guys... Maplewood MN)
I spend a lot of loving hours on my work and am just starting out, so be kind. I have a website up, and need to get pricing and ordering info out there still. If anyone here has helpful hints, pricing ideas or whatever please let me know. I plan to be a regular on this forum!
here is what I do;

I had to learn to make a website as well! Ya just never know what life will bring!
Thanks to the people running this forum for all the great stuff you let everyone post on here, Kim
