The Upholstery Forum

Really nice jobs!!! I wish one day I will be able to do something close to what I see in this thread

@LeatherJohnny ,

Dont look too close at mine

@BigRig When I show some of my projects, I should lower the resolution so that you cannot zoom in and you can only see the big picture!!!

@LeatherJohnny ,

Everything you are doing looks great to me! Why do they call you Leather Johnny? Do you sew and sell leather goods?

It's the first time that I use this nick in a forum, and given that I began sewing leather and I like working with it very much, and everybody calls me Johnny, I chose this nick

About the projects that I have done, knowing that I began using the sewing machine only some months ago, they are not as bad as they could be, but I would like they to be perfect, and this is something that I will never accomplish!

@LeatherJohnny

You will accomplish the look your after. Do you ever use deer hides?

Thanks @LeatherJohnny! All of you are capable of doing great work like that. It just takes a little time and practice.

To be honest, I have no idea if I have ever purchased/used deer hides... In my very limited (some months) time working with leather I have purchased automotive leather online in a shop, which was for sure cow, and I have also got some pieces of leather in a shop factory that was closing and in a flea market, but I have no idea what leather it is as I asked the sellers and also did not know!

I have to investigaste what types of leather exist and what are they good for, just in case that I am able to choose the one that I want or need, instead of simply take what is available, which is my case, just to practice without an exact need
