builderofstuff Report post Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I'm new to the group as well as leatherworking. I've only been doing it for a matter of months. My most recent project was a simple little purse design for my 8 year old Niece. Made from scraps given to me by a friend of mine. The strap is a six strand flat braid and I cut the lace from the same leather that I made the purse from. It was the only way I could come up with a strap since all of my pieces of leather were pretty small. The purse was also hand stitched.

JLSleather Report post Posted July 29, 2010 I agree! Everybody loves to talk about half a dozen names in leathercraft, but their "early work" wasn't nearly that nice looking. Nice job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
