Say Hello Before Posting

Hi All

I was very excited to come across the leather craft site while doing some hot foil machine research (unrelated to leather!). I've no leather experience but want to immerse myself into the leather world and feel this could be a great place to start.

I've 10 years eCommerce experience. the main products I've developed & manufactured (in China) are Sweaters, journals and silk pillowcases.

I'd like to take some time to play around with leather and hand make my own products ( My dad used to make leather pouches for car keys) I'd like to be able to make some gifts for friends etc. With the stress of daily life I feel this could be a great way to unwind.

My biggest question to all of you is where exactly should I start?

Look forward to your replies
