Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Book in excellent unread/unused condition. Softcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> I wrote this book so that, even if you have never worked with leather before, you can make yourself a beautiful and useful leather accessory in an afternoon. If you have worked with leather, this book will give you a tutorial on my unconventional leatherwork techniques. I will give you a short history of popular leathercraft before we get started, so when someone walks up to you and says, "Oh, you work with leather? My grandfather used to work with leather too," it will conjure up an image of what she is referring to. We will then go through the tools and materials you will use, practice some techniques and then get started on our projects. I have compiled ten of my favorite and most popular projects in this book so you can make yourself or someone else something beautiful, durable and unique out of leather. I am providing you with the basics on my leather- working techniques, and the rest is up to you! Where you go next with your craft may be driven by necessity. Do you need a wallet with more pockets: A bag in a different shape?
