Hello from Japan

[dirk87]

Hello, 

Have been reading here for a while and recently signed up. Thank you all for the amount of info and sharing on here!

I am from belgium but live in japan and started leatherworking as a hobby a few months ago. Bought some sheap tools and leather to try it and now I’m full in… you know how it goes :)

There is so much to learn in the craft but let me share some of my work.

The vertical wallet is from http://lefrenchcrafter.com, the key chain from corter leather’s youtube video. The others i designed myself.

Welcome!

That's really nice work!  (For anyone, but especially for someone who only started a few months ago!)

All hand-stitched?

Thank you for the nice words~

yes all hand stitched, im still struggling with punching perfectly straight and the stitching look at the corners bit im making allot of samples and i can feel its improving by making ‘stitching miles’
