emmacornes Report post Posted January 6, 2014 Hello there I've been a lurker for a little while. I'm a British Bagmaker - I mostly use British textiles, but I like to dabble with leather too. And I obviously like to use leather for my handles. Although I'm fairly new to leather working I'm already addicted. My tool box is already over flowing - I've developed a bit of a thing for vintage tools... Hope to say hello to you all soon - on a mission to learn more about skiving (of the leather type).

emmacornes Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Zoe and Keith Donegal Tweed tweed is stunning stuff - might use some in one of my designs at some point. Although it's over in Ireland, that's not really too far away. Have a great week. Emma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
