My name is Neale, I am a Brit living in Vienna Austria. I started to dabble in leatherwork about a year ago out of interest for something new to learn with my hands. I bought a few chinese patterns and watched a few tutorials on the internet. I haven't come very far of course.
Absolutely delighted to have found this site a few weeks ago. Steep learning curve but great lessons. I have started with the watch strap pattern but needed to scrap the first attempt as I just wasn't accurate enough in my pattern cutting. Second time around and looking better. Will post my final result.
@nealeselwood Hello Neale, welcome to the forum!
I'm glad that you are enjoying the courses. The watch strap is definitely a popular one.
You are right about the pattern, it does require spot on accuracy for best results, but I'm looking forward to seeing your second attempt!
