Leather Girl Report post Posted October 26, 2011 I thought I had posted on here but guess I didn't. I am not new to leather been doing it since 8 years old. I am always something new or a new way to do it. Right now I am waiting with bated breath for my very first leather sewing machine. I am tired of the blood, sweat and tears way, mainly the blood and tears. I have practically blown up my home sewing machines trying to sew suede on them. I like to specialize in unusual items: fetish wear, medieval wear for horses and people. I want to try making medieval style boots and shoes but finding the soles, uppers etc. is a real chore here. I also want to make some fetish boots with a lower heel because many folks myself included have large calves and the boots they make are for 5 year olds in the calf. So I am here and happy to say hi to all of you from the great white North. Leather girl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Try Calgary Shoe Hospital downtown or Fantasy Leather & Calgary Shoe Hospital in Bedington. For the occasional sole leathers and such, I'm sure they would help you. The owner is often in the Beddington store during the afternoon. A very interesting older fellow - he may have some tips for you and might sew the soles on for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got one mid December. Sure makes a lot of projects easier and opens up new projects I might not do otherwise. Hope to hear from you more often and to see some of your work.
