I have had plans to make a few things out of leather for ages, nothing too ambitious to begin with - book covers, small zipped cases, maybe a small saddle bag for my bike.
Can anyone suggest what grade/thickness I should use and recommend where to buy it from. There are lots of offcuts for sale on eBay but I think I would like to buy one useful sized piece to begin with.
Any tips about working with it gratefully received. Obviously I will consider needle size and thread. Do I actually need a leather roller foot? No idea.
