Say Hello Before Posting

Hello all!

I've been doing leatherwork for a little over a year now, and primarily make bags. I also sew clothing, and have been sewing for about 4 years now. I have a small business selling both my bags and clothing, although it is not my primary job. My workshop started off as a tiny cabinet in the living room and has since migrated to half the basement, with various machines, tools, textiles, and leather. My happy place.

I found Leathercraft Masterclass when searching for rolled handle techniques. I was not finding great information on how to do them properly. The Lancette rolled handle video teaser popped up, and I thought to myself "THIS. I NEED to know how to make a handle that looks like this." Every video I've watched so far has been immensely helpful and I have learned so much in such a short time.

The majority of my bags are machine stitched, but my goal for this winter is to improve my hand stitching. I plan to follow along with the videos and create a De Havilland bag for myself.

Thanks Phil for sharing your knowledge with us and for creating this space for us here!
