Here is a repair we completed recently. This chair sits in the lobby of a local restaurant. A child grasped onto a tear in the leather and tore a chunk out of arm. The chunk of leather vanished. (Perhaps a parent hiding evidence?) We had to create our own patch, fill around the edges of the tear and do our best to colour match the rest of the arm to help the hole disappear.
The customer said, "I can't even see where the damage was."
That is precisely the point.

I was reading a book where I wanted to annotate several pages when I came up with this idea for a bookmark containing sticky arrows. There are 400 arrows in this bookmark but if that isn't enough, it is refillable. It's very handy for recipe books or other books where you would like to re-reference or share ideas. #Leather #LeatherCraft #BookMark #maker #Books #HandMade #HandStitched #Reading

Made a messenger bag from Badalassi Carlo Pueblo veg tan leather in navy and cognac. It’s technically a prototype to work out the construction and dimensions, but honestly it turned out well enough to actually use it. #leathercraft

I use these discs to sharpen my skivers on a burnishing machine. I've always disliked having to buy replacement discs because I have plenty of leather but the discs and holes have to be precise or they don't work on the wheel. I've tried to cut them manually (see pattern in upper left) but couldn't get them exact. Today I realized I have better tools now so I can cut them with dies and use the machined discs to guide the placement of the center die. Yea! #Leather #LeatherCraft #tools

J’ai enfin fini les dernières pages de ce livre. Autant bouquin technique que *beau* livre. Faut vraiment que je trouve le temps de pratiquer…
