I first started dabbling in leather work two years ago when I decided to make some masks for Carnaval, and then last year I got more serious about it and started making jewelry and body pieces. I've lurked around and read posts here and there over the last year, so I thought it was high time to start posting some of my own pieces. And thank you all for the little nuggets of wisdom I gleaned. :)

I'm starting to get a lot better, and I'm pretty proud of this piece. The attached pouch is the first ever one I've done, and it taught me a lot of lessons. I didn't have a pattern or tutorial, and it was an interesting experience. I now know that leather binding needs to be pretty wide, with a wider seam allowance than in standard fabric, and the more seams the better for flexibility. I'll probably end up redoing it.

First of all, welcome to the forum officially! As for your piece, the construction looks good, as does your attention to detail. I like the clasp at the front, although two of them would be cool IMO. Great use for a purse clasp! I recently say a pouch like that that was designed to hand off of a belt, and I really like the idea. I have thought of making those as well, although out of veg tanned leather.

Post pics up if you re-do it. Nice work!

Cool stuff! I like looking at costume style stuff that is out if the norm for today's bland fashion! Great imagination!
