Hi everyone

I've posted a few pics of my work in the show-off section but to sum things up, I'm a new designer trying to get my brand going and these forums are a great place to learn. I've picked up a few really helpful tips here.

I started getting into leatherworking a few months after I graduated highschool in '07 and I've been hooked ever since. I've got a skiving machine and a sewing machine on the way but up until now I've been doing everything by hand.

Here's a LINK to my gallery, all my hand-sewn stuff is in here. I really am a sucker for punishment and I've decided to do an entire triple-gusseted briefcase handstitched with 9 stitches per inch before I switch over to the sewing machine for most of my work.

Welcome to the site. I looked at your work, I think you show real promise. I'm looking foward to seeing that triple gusseted case when done, mastering hand sewing as you know is basic to our craft. I'm amazed at how much hand sewing I still do after owning several machines...... Jeff

Good-looking stuff! Keep up the good work.
