Hi ! My name is Laura, and I live in the Chapel Hill area of NC.( GO Heels! ) Actually, I am not a big basketball fan.
I am a beginner at leather working. I wanted to buy designer knockoffs from Taobao, but decided that learning a new skill and making my own bags was probably a better use of my money/ time. I started picking up the craft last summer, but life got in the way for awhile. With my kids at home/ virtual learning for the foreseeable future, working on my leathercrafting skills has become a way to stay sane in crazy times.
@laura.sibert Welcome to the forum Laura! Happy you have joined us here.
Hello there, much better to try and make your own versions, much more satisfaction, especially if you make your own patterns too. Best of luck with the leather and your first bag
