What makes this book special is that it has patterns with stitch marks at the end of the book. Leather is usually sewn after piercing holes for stitching, which means that punching the holes is the most important part. If the number of holes and their stitching positions match, all that is left to do is sew the item together along the holes. Tanned leather gradually softens. In this book, since thick leather is used and linings are not, the shape of your bag may change depending on age and use. This is one of the wonders of aged, tanned leather that you will enjoy. • Includes patterns for each of the 40 projects listed • Clear, straightforward graphics and step-by-step instructions • Information on how to obtain the special punch tool necessary to complete these projects Pigpong is Yoko Kanaha & Piggy Tsujioka’s arts and craft production unit based in Tokyo, Japan. From product planning and book design to illustration and displays, Pigpong delivers unique projects full of originality.
