eatonjar Report post Posted March 15, 2014 I am new to leather working and I am interested in building leather armor for costuming as well as accessories. What I would love is to have a mentor to work on projects with and teach me the tricks of the trade. I am in the North Suburbs of Chicago. Please contact me at eatonjar@gmail.com.

camano ridge Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Eatnjar, it is not the same as having someone working side by side helping you with hands on, however this site is the next best thing. Go to the patterns forum and do a search for what you are looking for you will find free patterns. Do a general search on the main forum page for armor, bracers etc and you will find plenty of information and examples. Ask questions, there are plenty of people willing to give you advice and how to's. Hopefully this site will help you get started until you can find a FTF mentor.
