Actually Pathfinder, the cutting out is the hardest for me. To cut out that much leather for one project hurts....... I think of all the other things I could be making with those precious feet of leather.
The set I made before went together pretty well for never having done one before. Now the hard part is deciding on what I am going to put on them. Full carve, border only, etc??
I do have 1 of the 2 sets ready to sew, its just getting that time set aside to do it.
