As the new year approaches, many of us will be making resolutions. Funny thing about resolutions...they hardly ever go the distance. I think it's because there is no mechanism for accountability. Let's start a thread on what our leathercraft goals are for 2019. Lets make them realistic, attainable and measurable...post your updates and by 2020 we can revisit them together and see how we did. Put it out there so we can all help each other stay accountable and reach those goals within the new year.
For me...
1. I will continue working on the basics and actually work through and produce the 10 items discussed in Ellen's new book, "leatherwork School". I believe it's achievable in a year.
2. I will design 3 unique items that my costumer base would enjoy.
3. I will get my website up and running to market my 3 items and make my 1st sale.
What are your goals?...perhaps some are very similar to mine. If this is the case, let me know and we can motivate each other to achieve them.

Hi everyone, I am a bit late to the party but my goals for 2019 are
1) Improve my construction skills
2) learn how to make my own bag patterns
3) start my own leather business in addition to my day job. I just want to make enough money this year to be able to recover what I have spent so far on tools, afford new leather tools/machinery and take a class in person with Philip 😂. 4) I suppose the one I most looking forward to achieving is making a sale to someone who is not a friend or family.
