Hello All, I'm a newbie to leather, l started introducing leather on my waxed canvas bags and l'm hooked.  It's a great (but expensive) medium to work with so l have started to make some small accessory products and one bag but hoping to one day have learnt enough about processes and leather to start making a small collection of bags. Fingers crossed.

Welcome! I love mixing leather and heavy canvas they can be a beautiful combination. Do you have any pics you can share? It would be great to see your work.

Hi Zigzag,  I have attached some of my work for you to see.    Likewise it would be nice to see what you produce.

Some other work won't upload as it is more than 1.4mb

Those are some very nice bags, certainly as nice as anything mass produced. When you figure out how to reduce the other images, I look forward to seeing your other work.

Thanks CaptQuirk

I am new to leather working and looking to make more leather products.  I sell at craft fairs and I have a little Etsy shop.  The link to my shop is attached to my profile.  Photos are in need of attention though.  Another thing I have to work on.

Can I ask what sort of leather work you do

@sunflower- I do mostly holsters. Every now and then, I get asked to do a belt, gunbelt, or something different, like a tool pouch. I've also been asked about Concealed Carry purses, and am considering it. What is holding me back, is that I can't imagine hand sewing something like that. No sewing machine for me, and no interest in getting one.

Great looking bags.  I especially like the top one.
