Hi all, and Bubba particularly! We all know that leather is wonderful stuff. It brings class to any outfit. Many years ago I used to be a leatherworker (hobby) but drifted a away from it. Back then I used to make my own shoes! I coulda made a killer sporran. It sounds like you have done some leather work Bubba. I have checked the 'net and surprisingly there are not many good sources for materials/tools etc. In San Francisco where I was, there was MacPhersons leathers and they had every last thing you could need from shoe-soles to deer-hides etc etc.
Anyone know of such a place? Making an entire kilt would need a walking-foot sewing machine, but smaller projects like a sporran can be hand-stitched.
(using opposing needles). If there are any leather-hobbiests out there who would share their knowledge that would be great. -thanks- Alan
