Leather works


LEATHER WORK
Craft workshop
By Mary Maguire
Sheepskin slippers, Wall pockets, Cushion covers, keepsake wallet, coaster and napkin ring, Indian style stool, leather satchel, shopping bag and suede tassels; each project presented in an accessible step by step sequences, illustrated with color photos. It was not until the discovery of tanning in Ancient Egypt that we first had leather, a hard wearing preserved material and one of the earliest manufactured products. Today it is still essential to life, and our book provides a fresh look at a highly traditional craft. Twenty five practical and desirable designs written for all levels of leather workers. Three hundred specially commissioned photos.
