When you try a new skill on your own, it can be difficult to troubleshoot. Edge finishing methods, for example, can be particularly nuanced. Did you apply enough pressure? Not enough pressure? Was the sanding at the right angle? There are a host of questions to ask. It can be even more complicated if you use different materials. Maybe your method is sound, but not for the leather you picked.
For our latest online course, The Zippered Wallet, I wanted to make it easier for students to learn the techniques. So, I included an option to get the same materials as used in the demonstrations. This turned out to be a very popular addition. Now, students could make a 1:1 comparison of their results to what was shown. We added the same reinforcement materials, the same tape, the same hardware, and even the same leather split to the identical thickness as the sample. If you did everything right, your project would look exactly the same.
More Bundles
Since students found them helpful for the latest course, we also added them to the previous one. Now, you can get a material bundle for Refining Your Technique. Like the Zippered Wallet course, you can now follow along at home, compare and adjust your techniques, and get the same result.
