Book Reviews of The Leatherworking Handbook: A Practical Illustrated Sourcebook of Techniques and Projects
Book Review: A must read for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I started out working with leather on my own with some help from my local leatherworking supplier. Unhappy with the results I was getting I decided on buying this book and I was not disappointed. The quality of my work is far better now than I could have hoped for. A must read for beginners.
Summary of The Leatherworking Handbook: A Practical Illustrated Sourcebook of Techniques and Projects
Valerie Michael?a founding member of the Association of Design Leatherworkers?has created the definitive guide to this popular and age-old craft. Oriented to the beginner, it thoroughly presents all the materials, tools, and key techniques in easy-to-follow photographs: finishing edges, paring and hand-stitching, making pockets, attaching studs and straps, and decorating surfaces. The well-chosen projects take into account developing skills, and range from belt and wallets to quilted items and bags. An invaluable reference work.
