Description:At last! A leather working book for amateurs by a top professional.
Valerie
Michael guides the leatherworker through techniques and projects,
showcasing the very best of her knowledge and experience.
After a
thorough presentation of each of the key techniques - such as finishing
edges, paring and hand stitching, making pockets, attaching studs and
straps and decorating surfaces - there are ten projects, suitable for
developing levels of skill, from belts and wallets to quilted work and
three different types of leather bag.
Not only is this book an
ideal introduction to a centuries-old craft, but its comprehensive
treatment of materials, tools and techniques makes it an invaluable work
of reference.
