BOOK IN ENGLISH - DIY LEATHER BAGS
In this beautiful book, discover how to make 40 modern and elegant bag and accessory designs to hand-sew yourself. Each step of the creation process is detailed and illustrated with numerous photos and diagrams.
The patterns are included at the end of the book and are to be reproduced to the correct scale (the enlargement method is explained in the book).
Punching the sewing holes is an important and delicate step: the number of holes and their position must perfectly match on the two pieces to be sewn together. This is why all the templates have markers to properly position your pricking iron. This will allow you to punch the leather in the right places and create beautiful, even seams.
All the models presented are made from natural vegetable-tanned leather. This leather can be customized by tooling, dyeing, molding, etc.
You can also use vegetable-tanned leather from the TANAO range to avoid the coloring step.
Mineral-tanned leather can also be used. In this case, firm leathers are preferable.
