Basically title....

I was able to make the holster in a day. It took longer to find a pattern I liked.

I don’t own a stitching pony so this is how I decided to hold my work. It’s not perfect as the thread sometimes get caught on the vice and it’s only three inches wide but it’s much faster than trying to hold the piece with my hands as I stitch it.

I’ve never made anything from leather. I’d like to make some keychain guitar pick holders like the one in the photo. I’m looking for advice on some tools required to make these....

I’ve had my Orbitkey Black Edition: Canvas for over five years and it has started to fray and become weathered. I decided to give it new life and remade it using some 5 oz Veg-Tan leather. It wasn’t the most difficult thing to make but I like that I didn’t have to replace something simply because it’s old. I’m very...

Fiebings Pro dye and Barge won’t be sold in Canada any longer. Law change starting 2024 banning both products in Canada because of VOCs.

I went to a steampunk themed event. Rather then buy a pair of goggles, I made it unnecessarily harder on myself by making a pair from scratch. The right eye is lined with magnets, making the magnifying glass easily removable.

If you like to design your own patterns check out Affinity Designer. Blows my mind!...

I’m looking for a set of motorcycle saddlebags in the style of vintage horse riding gear....

Holds a flashlight and my car key-fob. A cutout makes the flashlight easier to take out....

I recently watched this video by Corter and it was a bit of an aha moment....

Made a pricking iron from a bit of copper bus bar I had. I ordered a bunch of 250/27LP sewing machine needles....

Hi everybody,...

Decided to get really good at making one thing and learning the general process from veg tan to finished product, the green one is my favorite.

Very new to leather work. First time trying to wet mould. I’m very happy with the result :)...

I was gifted a sewing machine for my birthday. I’ve never used one before, but I was told that making a pillow case was the best learner project. Since a pillow case is basically just a big bag, I got the idea from a YouTube channel called Skill Tree to instead make a gathering bag....

I know PU leather isn’t real leather, but still thought I’d share my results....

I made this catch-all tray for a friend's housewarming but I wasn't happy with the natural vegtan color so I propped it up in a sunny window for three days. My needle holder from the same hide is there to show the contrast of how much the color changed and to remind everyone to wear sunscreen 😎

Greetings leathercrafters! Since makers tend to make more than one sort of thing, and we crafters need to stick together, here’s a list of fellow creative communities for your navigation pleasure....

This is my first project that I'm pleased with, that I think actually turned out pretty well. It's simple but I'm happy with it. It's all handstitched. Unfortunately I didn't take a bunch of good pics before I gave it to my aunt.

I am having some issues burnishing some chrome tans. I would love to hear what everybody is using to burnish edges please
