What to expect

Learn to make a leather card holder or more from start to finish. I'll provide all the equipment and materials. I'll explain how to use the tools: cut the leather with blade including stitching holes, hand stitch**, and polish. You can even stamp your initials or Amsterdam's iconic "xxx"—a symbol of the city since 1505—to personalize your creation. We'll do it all by hand. **Hand Stitching - No Machine In my workshop I will be teaching hand stitching but not machine stitching, as hand stitching is much more durable than machine stitching goods :) ! And after the experience if you are interested in leather crafting, there are also tools, starting kit and leather available. *** P.S.
