Making something gives you a sense of achievement and can lift your mood, and relax you.  The trendy  word for this recently has been mindfulness, but really it is just about taking time out to think about something else and be in the moment.  When you make something you have to be in the moment.

If you have not made many things before, accessing the right equipment and materials  can set you back a lot of money  and take a lot of time to source...... and all that  before you start making anything. Buying a kit can be a fantastic alternative and you will have everything you need to get started.  For example our HOLDER leather bag kits come with pre cut leather and are ready punched with the needles and  specialist linen threads included. If you were to buy the materials yourself you would need to source everything and by a full hide of leather, the tools to cut the leather, the rulers the cutting mats, the hammer, the punches, the correct needles and the waxed linen thread ...and then source the straps.

 

So what are you waiting for?   get started  and start creating!
