Summary
Details

Suppose, you have to appear for an exam next week, who would be the go-to person for seeking help and guidance?

Option 1: A Subject Matter Expert (SME) who studying/teaching the subject for several years and often assumes while explaining that the basics are covered or looks it from their frame of reference.

Or

Option 2:

Someone who also started from scratch as you have and passed the exam just last week. He/She knows the exact process, challenges, doubts, and roadblocks you may be facing and can think from your perspective.

If your option is 2, you are in the right place.

I am a Technology Consultant by profession, and started my leathercraft journey in the year 2014. I started by going through multiple YouTube videos, courses, Facebook groups, and finally completed my first project after four months.

I was confused and was lost in the magnitude of information available online. I firmly believe that while starting, you need exact, necessary, minimalistic information to start your first project, pardon: Complete your first project!

So I started writing this book to provide a minimalistic approach to information required to start your first leather project. It covers:

- History of leather

- Basics Tools and their usage

- Making Patterns

- Cutting Patterns

- Gluing

- Beveling, Embossing, Stamping

- Stitching basics

- Coloring and Finishing

- Tips, Techniques for the beginner

- Appendix: List of online resources available for free patterns, tips, and techniques.

I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips which helped me.

This book is for people who are in their first lap (0-3 years) of Leather crafting journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes, tools, and need help in their initial projects.

I have included photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.

So, what are you waiting for? Get this updated book and start your Leather Crafting Journey Today!
