    Hi Leather V Sorry I cant help you with your question as I am still figuring out tooling myself but was wondering where you are from? ... I am assuming Canada? I'm in BC. Regan

    So in other words your saying...... I should have hand stitched it !!!

    Thanks for your comments, It did get a bit tight between the heart and the half diamond so that was all I could think of doing, any suggestions on another way to attach other than make more room to have a cleaner stitch and stamp space? Would it have been better if I hand stitched it? I just used my Singer Patcher.

    Just thought I would share a little gift I made for a friend for Xmas. This is her Brand, and she only uses rope Halters. Love to hear your thoughts on how I did. This is my first project since setting up my shop again for 3 years. Regan :-)

    Great work... thanks for sharing :-) Couple questions... How did you attach the cell phone cover to the case you made? And what type of leather did you make the shaving kit out of? Thanks, Regan

    Great information, I cant add anything because this is definitely an area I need help in so I am curious to see others responses.

    That's great to know thanks so much for your reply, and I also wanted to say that I love the recycling idea... I once had a fellow bring me his very well worn logging boots and wanted me to make cup holders out of the tops for his motorcycle... they actually turned out very well. Never know what the next creation will be :-) Regan

    I love how you did your nick name but I am not sure how you did it... would you care to share?

    Beautiful work. I sometimes have a problem with my presser foot leaving marks... What can a person do about that?

    Thanks for the reply to my question I am new to this site but since I have been on here I am learning that I know nothing about leather work ....lol !!! Such a huge world out there. I really like what you did with those letters and I have a project that I could use that on but I am still a bit confused on how you did it. I'll blame it on the blonde roots So If you cut the letters out and stitched it to the black leather wallet why did you need to paint them black? Would the black from the wallet not show through? (as I am typing this I am thinking that this is probably a real stupid question but I am obviously missing something). Could you clarify please, Thanks so much Regan

    That is very nice, would you mind sharing how you did the letters? and what kind of leather they are on? Thanks so much

    Wowza ... that is beautiful

    Thanks for your reply Brian, sorry to hear about your lighting troubles but I am glad to know Im not the only one. I thought about lots of options but its nice to hear of others experiences which helps to narrow it down. Regan

    What about a headlamp? Does anyone have any experience using one of those? And also a Magnifying glass with light?
  15. Rbarleatherworks
    Yes that is just an example of what she is looking to have made. I had thought of a thin veg tan but wondered how well that would hold up to washing of the toque. So wasn't sure of what else to use. Maybe cloth and embroidery might be a better option for her. Then I guess there is pyrography but I have no experience with that.... yet :-)
  16. Rbarleatherworks
    Not sure at this time. Just a local gal makes the toques and is looking for someone to make them.

    Hi all Just wondering if I could get some feedback on what would be the best way to make these tags on the bottom right corner of the Toque (see Pic attached). Thanks so much, Regan
  18. Rbarleatherworks
    Beautiful work, well done..... I must keep practicing
  19. Rbarleatherworks
    Oh wow.... thank you all for sharing your preferences I really appreciate your input. I had to google what OTT lights are and seem to be having trouble to find them here in Canada but I have found a couple stores online so will pop down tomorrow to see if they actually have them in store. I also love the video idea, not sure that I am handy enough to make it but Im sure I could enlist someone to take it on. I am so happy to have found this site and to connect with others in leather work, I have been doing it by myself for years with no one to chat with. Thanks again for the input :-) Regan

    Hi all :-) I have been away from leather work for about 3 years but am now setting up a new little shop in a small garage and I am looking for some advise on lighting. I have been working on a few little projects for xmas and I am struggling with the lighting with glare and shadows.... grrrrr! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Regan
