Hi From Yorkshire

[JoMac]

Hi, I'm Jo from Yorkshire. I've been working with leather for a couple of years now as a craft business in the evenings. But now hoping(?) to dedicate more time to it, with the goal of earning a living from it. Handstitching is my thing.

Kettle' s always on for a brew and a chat!

Hoping to get some connections, learn more and get feedback and ideas.

Welcome Jo! Advice, supplies and ideas abound here at LWN! Look forward to seeing your projects. Hopefully you get more stuff out than I do...i procrastinate too much from fear of doing it wrong when I should just do it and learn from what I did wrong.

Hey - Same here tbh :-) but lifes ticking by and I dream of working every day in my workshop....so trying the whole 'feel the fear and do it anyway' approach! I put some pics up in my profile of pieces I've made in the last year. Some I'm happy with, some not do much-but any feedback good or bad greatly received. moving away from lambskin-really want to focus on heavier leathers for hand stitching....nothing quite like it....and the finger burns ha ha

Hi Jo

Hope you're well!

Thought I'd come say hi! Good to find people in the UK that are into the leather work.

From the North East, new to leather work. Trying to work my way through beginners frustration.

But will hopefully get there.

Any advice you might have would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks

Ray

All the best mate.
