Hi, was hoping to get some ideas. I am looking for a more concise job title, but find it to be very long winded. 

What I do...

I do freelance, mostly leather but other heavy duty materials, industrial and hand sewing, for private companies and individuals.

some of the projects I do... leather wine racks, cushions, pillows, bags, leather wrapped hardware, some repairs)

I am looking to not limit the title to all leather, and also explain that I am only skilled in sewing heavy duty materials (sewing seems to denote seamstress to a lot of people and my machine would chew through anything delicate)

Just don't include "sewer".  It may be misconstrued with a slightly more odiferous connotation.:wub:

I was thinking the following:

Sailmaker    (I don't know if it is a protected title in the USA?)

Canvas and leather fabrication

 

I find it easier to make a slogan, I know that wasn't really what you asked. But.. Here's a couple:

Leather canvas or duck, I'll sew if for a buck

Sewing leather is light as a feather.

Sewing leather is hard, call Susan before you start.

Leather goods that will last - Susan makes them accurate and fast.

My suggestions would be dependent on your level of education

1) If you have formal training : i) Textile Technician ii) Textile Technologist iii) Textile Engineer 

2) If you haven't been formally trained but have done an apprenticeship as a Tailor: i) Tailoress 

3) If you have no formal training: Textile Artisan or Artisan
