Leather work

Sewing, braiding, processing

This guide is a practical introduction to leathercrafting. With little effort, you can make stunning bracelets, wallets, phone cases, and other leather items right at your kitchen table. The book contains 20 projects, from keychains to large shoulder bags, and several different instructions for leather weaving and knotting. You'll learn about the right tools, the basics of gluing and polishing, bookbinding, and much more.

Above all, it's about the joy of creating something from natural materials and being able to set an example for a throwaway society with one's own durable products. Last but not least, it's also about respecting an ancient artisanal tradition that lives on in all who work with leather.
