I’ve been experimenting with marbling natural veg-tan leather and turning the results into wallets.
No two patterns come out the same, and that’s honestly my favorite part.
Which one would you pick?

This piece is truly outstanding. The Maryam Horsebutt Toscanello Overdyed Black Cherry leather gives it a rich, deep tone with incredible character and patina potential. The texture is rugged yet refined, showing the premium quality of Maryam’s tanning process. The Japanese‑style buckle adds a unique touch, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance. Overall, the combination of rare horsebutt leather and thoughtful design details makes this item not only durable but also visually striking. It’s a perfect balance of exclusivity, heritage, and functionality.

First time doing a standard horizontal bifold with cash pocket. Nerve wracking as hell trying not to mess up. Learned a lot though!

Hi all, my grandma has a leather cow hide (pictured) that I want to attach to a soft fabric/blanket on the back so that it makes a nice throw blanket.

The cowhide is the size of a queen size bed.

I have sewing experience, but no leather working experience and I can’t find anyone local to do it for me. So I have decided to do it myself.

Question - how would you go about attaching the soft fabric to the cow hide? should i attach directly, or should there be some kind of middle fabric between the hide and the soft fabric, kind of like what you do with quilting?

I understand this is a big project, but I imagine it should be fairly straight forward, as the leatherwork itself isn’t the star of the show… i just need to be able to attach the hide to a blanket.

Any advice?

I'm practicing my new craft, and I just can't seem to cut my leather the way I see in some YouTube videos. I know most of the people I started following have been doing it longer, but they seem to cut the leather like a knife through butter.

I have an X-Acto knife, and I bought a box cutter from Home Depot. I also have a T-square and a ruler. The pieces still don't come out even when I use them. Should I get one of those rotary cutters too?

Any advice is appreciated.

It seems like I'd have to remove a section from the middle, but how would I join the two pieces together again in the best way? Or any other ideas?

What kind of needles do you use most often? What size are those needles? Who sells good needles for hand stitching? It's been years since I hand stitched, so I'm out of practice. Thanks for any info.

Edit: I'll be stitching non punched leather.

Hello! Im looking for an entry level laser cutter and software to engrave, cut/upload files to cut that I’ve designed! What is a great small at home laser that you all might recommend! I am more of a structured creator that really likes to make computer renderings first!

My friend has given me an old but bright white leather jacket, and the garment tag says the shell is 100% leather, but white's not really my color and I'd love to turn it into a dark cool toned purple.

I've dyed other garments before but never dealt with leather, so I figured I should come and ask just to double check methods.

I read about deglazing the leather so the dye can penetrate and sealing it after, but Google was giving me mixed opinions on leather dye vs leather paint to get the job done so I'd love some advice from anyone with actual experience doing anything similar 🙏 thanks

Just made a cut to make a strip for belt. The probpem its too wide by 2-5 milimeters. What would be the easiest way to make it less wide? Using the strip cutter? Or there is an easier way to solve this?
