Insecurity Princess 🌈💖🔥I don't have a particular goal in mind for this red leather but I saw it and it called to me
And now I'm tempted to take up leatherwork as a hobby
rixx@saraislet can recommend, it's fun and there are so many easy useful things to make
@rixx what stands out to you as a thing to make out of leather? (…that you'd share in public)
@saraislet heh!
The classic starter is a card holder /mini wallet. I use mine (first thing I ever made) daily despite the questionable quality.
Leather is great for cases / storage for anything you like to carry - pens, cables, all kinds of small clutter looks and feels much better in a dedicated small case, and they are super easy to make. Also all tools: a metal ruler or a set of knitting needles are so much more satisfying in a form fitting sleeve.
@rixx These look super useful 🤩 what a great skill to have!
Clive ThompsonAgreed! And leather is such a durable material – the things you are making will last for years and years and years, and only look better with age
