kgg Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Posted March 25, 2018 Hi Sheilajeanne, It is so satisfying to be able to make items that fit better and will last longer than a similar store bought item. We are more into the conformation showing, bit of obedience, some rally and limited breeding with the Tollers.

Members dikman Posted March 25, 2018 Members Report Posted March 25, 2018 kgg, I bought the shoepatcher early on, I was handstitching and didn't know much about anything and it seemed like a good idea at the time. I've never actually sewn anything with it as it wasn't long after that I got the bug about industrial sewing machines!! They're not a bad little machine for what they are and I'm sure I'll use it eventually. The reason I got into leatherwork was because I needed holsters and gunbelts and so far all the stuff I've made has been gun-related (although I'm itching to have a go at making a leather vest!).

kgg Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks Dikman, I appreciate the info. We all seem to try something out of first necessity then enjoyment and then the addiction. A project that looking forward in making next will be to make a leather case for our new 45-70 Marlin 1895.
