Hello From South Alabama

Hey, guys! I am new to working with leather and came to learn a few things...ok, EVERYTHING! I am self taught as far as sewing is concerned. I never really cared much for it until I got my hands on some leather last year. That was when everything changed. I had the most horrendous beginners machine to ever exist! I upgraded to an old Necchi Supernova which helped a bit but obviously does not have the muscle to eat through leather. I am on the Craigslist hunt! I also want to learn to hand stitch to make bags. I don't know anything about types or grades of leather yet, but I am reading everything on this site and will soon have a better understanding. My brother wants me to have a go at making a sheath for his machete so I could use some help in picking the right leather and knowledge of good sites to order from. I have a sweet motorcycle that needs a new awesome seat so that is at the top of the list after i get a new machine.

I am pumped to start and can't wait to show you guys a project! I look forward to speaking with all of you and soaking up all of your leather knowledge!!!!
