- Help! How do I...I recently bought a bundle of "saffiano" hides from Springfield Leather in the US. I have limited experience with this leather and am questioning if it's real! The back looks like some kind of fabric, and there are small areas where you can see there's a layer of leather- or is it vinyl - glued to the fabric. I'm not sure maybe this is part of the process, but I can't make an unlined bag with these, and ... IS IT REAL? Thanks!! I;m only showing the bad parts of the hides. They are truly beautiful colors otherwise !~!좋아요
- Help! How do I...I'm a novice leatherworker, interested in attempting my first bag. My idea is to recreate this bag (the original is PU) and would love some input on whether this seems do-able for a hobbyist (I've been doing leatherwork for a year and am still building skills) and my plans: • Chrome tan, medium temper • Body leather: 1.5 mm • Piping/handle leather: 0.8 mm • Leather cord insert, 6 or 7 mm • Reinforcement in the base so it keeps its shape when put down Thanks in advance!좋아요
- Help! How do I...Hi there - Regarding the belt tutorial - does Peter skive just the tip of the lining (1cm) or does he skive 1cm of the buckle end aswel? Kind regards좋아요
