mscheerer Report post Posted January 4, 2017 Hi, my name is Mario, and I'm from the south of germany I started leatherworking about a year ago. I made a 3 day basic course to learn sewing, cutting and other things to start with. I practiced a lot at home during the last year (but not nearly as much as I would love to...) , particularly sewing and edge finishing. I try to practice with my own patterns, so I do not buy any patterns or so. This resulted in a lot of useless things as you can imagine I learned a lot through browsing and reading here on leatherworker.net, so I'd thought it is time now to register here and become part of this lovely community. I hope to learn a lot more from all of you guys, and probably one day I can give some advices myself... Would love to connect with other leatherworkers from Germany aswell!! So feel free to contact me! And last but not least I would like to show you the latest projects I did. I hope the picture size is ok, I posted with my smartphone and had to reduce the sizes of them A wallet for myself, a tote bag for my girlfriend and a tobacco sleeve for my brother-in-law, do not hesitate to give me some critics!!

Has anyone an idea how I could avoid those magnetic buttons on the tobacco sleeve? He wanted it as slim as possible so he can wear it in his back pocket of a jeans. But I don't like them, they look too clunky, but I have no other idea. A normal button is not practical to close, since the tobacco is very soft.
