The Leatherworking Starter Handbook
The Leatherworking Starter Handbook
Beginner Friendly Guide to Leather Crafting Process, Tips and Techniques
About the Book
Suppose you have to appear for an exam next week; who would be the go-to person for seeking help and guidance?
Option 1: A Subject Matter Expert (SME) who has been studying/teaching the subject for several years and often assumes while explaining that the basics are covered or looks at it from their frame of reference.
Or
Option 2: Someone who also started from scratch as you have and passed the exam just last week. He/She knows the exact process, challenges, doubts, and roadblocks you may be facing and can think from your perspective.
If your option is 2, you are in the right place.
I am a Technology Consultant by profession and started my leathercraft journey in 2014. I started by going through multiple YouTube videos, courses, and Facebook groups and finally completed my first project after four months.
I was confused and lost in the magnitude of information available online. I firmly believe that while starting, you need exact, necessary, minimalistic information to start your first project; pardon: Complete your first project!
So I started writing this book to provide a minimalistic approach to the information required to start your first leather project. It covers:
- History of leather
- Basics Tools and their usage
- Making Patterns
- Cutting Patterns
- Gluing
- Beveling, Embossing, Stamping
- Stitching basics
- Coloring and Finishing
- Tips, Techniques for the beginner
-Leather Crafting, Physical Pain & Ergonomics
- Appendix: List of online resources available for free patterns, tips, and techniques.
I still remember the initial doubts and tips that helped me.
This book is for people in their first lap (0-3 years) of the Leather crafting journey who want a holistic idea of processes and tools and need help in their initial projects.
I have included photographs of realistic beginners' projects explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.
