Yes. It is thinner than other species, especially the bellies.

Rebecca tries to use any scrap pieces for other items :) Mysti

Thanks for supporting them! :)

For hand sewing, use a size 003 Glovers needle and upholstery thread of just about any size, but bonded nylon size #46 is good if you want something specific. And some sort of thimble will be needed as well.

@@darlingleatherandfur thank you. I made a couple pair of beaver gloves with a sewing awl. Hoping this will help a little quicker with regular needle

Thank you so much 😀

You can check out any fur sewing machines. I'm pretty partial to my Techsew202 though.

It’s this one. Gets the job done for wallets. It’s not as nice as the more expensive presses, but I don’t make enough wallets for a big one to be worth it. “YVOKERN Leather Hand Press Manual Die Cutting Embossing Machine 18 * 10cm(7”*4“) for Leather and Paper Craft Cutter Pattern Mold Stamping”

Please check out my custom order form on my website before shipping anything my way. Lets work together on an order! :) darlingleatherandfur.com/pages/rates-order-form

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the ideas! I will keep them in mind :)

It's a Techsew machine.

@jpet0394 Thank you, I didn't realize that was such a sensitive ask. Anyways I do find it interesting regardless of the fact I have no interest in buying one since I already have several that I rarely use. I just think it's refreshing to see someone of the younger generation who is following this trade. And is making a go of it.

It’s a Techsew 202, I don’t have any mechanical skill, so when I was looking I was nervous to buy a bonis in case it didn’t work, so I went with the new option. I do have vests on my docket this year! I appreciate your faith in me for coats! We’ll see when I work up the courage to tackle them.

@darlingleatherandfur Either you are insane or I am. I can see no barriers standing in your way for coats. A coat is simply a vest with sleeves. Your skill level is obviously past the "beginner" level of manufacturing coats. I know there are a few reasons that create hesitation. 1st and foremost is having enough of your own fur to play with. Buying a couple of bolts of sail cloth will work for replacing the fur and still create the same result until you build your confidence. In my case, I owned a fur dressing business. There was very little tanning expense, plus running our trapline supplied all the fur. But that was an uncommon luxury. In most scenarios, a person doesn't have that advantage. But at least you have a husband that traps, and I have a hunch he would like nothing more than a reason to triple down on his efforts if he enjoys as much as I have over the decades. As a fellow that's likely old enough to possibly be your grandfather, I know skill when I see it. I compliment your work because I can appreciate your results. I hope you haven't feared that I could be one of those creeps that appear from time to time (and I certainly wouldn't blame you) on this platform. But I wouldn't feel any different about your efforts if you happened to be a man. Actually, it would be easier to comment if you were since it would lesson the possible creep factor for you. I guess that's the risk I take... Anyways, I know of a book that will be of great help if you are interested. My ex-wife of many years ago learned 98% of coat manufacturing from this book. It is that complete. It will show you how to do fully let-out furs and other various furrier skills. Keep in mind that she had zero experience with coats beforehand. In just a few months, she was off to the races and making from 75 to 125 coats a year consistently besides all the small items with very little marketing. There was no internet as we know it today. Perhaps you already know of this book, but if not, here it is. Advanced FUR CRAFTSMANSHIP * IMPROVED FUR TECHNIQUES In All Peltries Commonly Used BY THE PRACTICAL FURRIER by SAMUEL RAPHAEL It is an old hard cover publication out of print, but you can still find it online. Look around, I have seen it priced anywhere from $30 to $300 and worth every penny. Be sure to get this specific copy. There is another that looks similar from the same author, but this has the updates of the time. It takes you from A to Z at your pace. So what's in it for me? Nothing. Then why do I bother ? Because I can, and why not pay it forward when given the unexpected opportunity. Speaking of books, I think I just wrote one. 🤔

Thank you! That one is my favorite also. The tail was a smidge too short to have a complete panel, and I didn’t have any extra to splice together, so I slept on it and had this idea the next day!

@darlingleatherandfur That is really interesting. Our dreams can be powerful solutions to problems we face at times. I have had several of those experiences in my past when fabricating machinery for the tannery. Whenever I ran into a real mechanical road block, I would try to clear my mind and think only about the problem as I drifted off to sleep. It is not easy to do, but when you can, it has worked for me, and the same has been true for my wife when she was having trouble solving a problem. And now for you as well. A large part of what makes working with fur&leather is that your imagination is the only limit. Although having the material to experiment with is sometimes a preventative to playing with ideas. I can also appreciate your taste for color contrasting both fur and leather, I have been bitten by the same bug. 😃

Thank you!

Thank you for the details and the suggestions! I do occasionally make purse, but not checkbook covers or pocket purses.

Thanks for viewing!

You're welcome!

For my pillows, I have a velvet and a buckskin hide option. Check out my custom order form here for details, and feel free to reach out for specific questions on material. darlingleatherandfur.com/pages/pillows
