My first husband used to do leather work – belts, purses, handbags and I would help with the stitching so I know what you mean. Worth it though as they last a lifetime.
Just done another hour and still only finished one side of the first strap. Do you do anything crafty Jude?
Leatherwork today, got very sore fingers!
Lucid Gypsy 
What great workspace, and yet another talent revealed. When do we see what you made? I’m sending a hug or two wrapped in the sound of the sea.
This could take a while, my friend is the expert and she’s guiding me. I’ll finish it but doubt I’ll do another:-). If it turns out okay I’ll post it
Are these the famous notebooks? Look lovely from the bit I can see. Working with leather is so nice though – the smell 🙂
No, I’m having a go at making a tote bag, but it’s hard work! Have a nice Sunday 🙂

You are talented! I admire you, Gilly!
Never tried this, Gilly. Good for you. 🙂
Good to see your work place, Gilly. I never worked in leather.
Ouch! Hope we’ll get to see the end result? 🙂
If I don’t throw my toys out and it turns out ok 🙂💕🙂
