Want to get started on this craft

Hello,

Would like to get into this craftsmanship. 

Any recommendations on how or where to start?

I saw a kit on Amazon with some tools and mats is it worth it

Thanks

I started out with a leather kit from Amazon. It was like $140 & had all the basic tools to get started. 

Plus it had 4 colors of thread, beeswax plus some other stuff. 

I made a lot of stuff with that kit.

Maybe you could post that kit you found and get some opinions. They're are a bunch of them.

Here's a post by a guy doing some amazing work with a $50 amazon starter kit:

Maybe it'll give you some inspiration.
