Book Description
Valerie Michael—a founding member of the Association of Design Leatherworkers—has created the definitive guide to this popular and age-old craft. Oriented to the beginner, it thoroughly presents all the materials, tools, and key techniques in easy-to-follow photographs: finishing edges, paring and hand-stitching, making pockets, attaching studs and straps, and decorating surfaces. The well-chosen projects take into account developing skills, and range from belt and wallets to quilted items and bags. An invaluable reference work.
“...Instructions are concise enough to offer craft enthusiasts of differing skill levels a range of projects to undertake.”—Booklist.
“Excellent and easy-to-understand introduction to classic leatherworking.”—Library Journal.

great book with lots of pictures.......2007-08-03
If you thought leather craft was just had tooling on saddles and belt straps...this book will show you how elegant and sophistcated great leather work can be. This book covers all the details and tools necessary to learn all the skills. Well written and well illustrated..highly recommended
Great introduction.......2007-03-09
I'm new to working with leather, and this book answered all of my questions about the tools I needed and the materials. It includes magnificent photographs of some inspiring projects, and my only wish is that full instructions be provided for all of them. As it is, there is a sampling of projects in the back, generally very simple and classic looking, occasionally too 80s for modern tastes.
I have made my first bag with this book already, and am about to embark on my second. But the book has useful information for anyone interested in making belts, boxes, wallets, etc.
The resource guide at the end of the book has not been updated since before the advent of the Internet, so it will be of limited use. However, my own Google searches unearthed all of the tools and materials I actually needed. The suggested set-up for a workshop in the book is fanciful for a beginner: I hardly have a tabletop to dedicate to this pastime, let alone a custom-fit room of my own. Some of the tools are similarly useful, but not impossible to do without -- so don't be put off by the lengthy list in the front. I found a number of supplies (linen thread, long, blunt needles, an awl) in the bookbinding section of a local art store.
Inspiring Couch Potato Book.......2007-01-25
I actually purchased this book many years ago when it first came out, and I still have not made anything from it, partially due to the fact that the illustrations and products are so perfect in the book, but are unlikely to turn out that way because I'm an amateur. She suggests some very unique tools that are hard to find and/or improvise, which also impedes my ability to consider starting a project. But her leather working tips are great, the images are very clear and the final projects are really stylish (even after all these years) and usable.
Not enough detail to answer my questions........2003-07-06
The book is a very good introduction to working with leather, but it didn't have the details to answer all of my questions, and I am now in search of a better book. The information seems adequate, but once you visit an actual leather supply store (or even consult an online catalog) you'll find you have a thousand questions that this book doesn't confront. A larger glossary would improve this book immensely.
Unfortunately, the guys who run the local leather supply store here are only helpful if it's obvious you're going to spend lots of money. Otherwise they pretty much look down their noses at you. So unless I find some friendlier people to ask questions, I'm stuck with finding the right book. I'm sorry to say that this was not that book.
A different perspective than US Western.......2000-12-28
This book is a welcome addition to my leatherworking library. Particularly since the the styles are similar to my own tastes - very plain, but elegant. Very different from the typical US type of leatherworking with lots of tooling, buckstitching, etc. Not that I don't appreciate that style also - I have a huge stack of Ann & Al Stohlman's books that I regularly re-read - but it is nice to see something *different*. The techniques, also, are a bit different in some cases, which I also appreciate.
As the author is British, some of the terms and tools may seem unfamiliar at first. However, there are either the "American-English" equivalents listed, or it's clear what is meant from skimming the text.
A definite addition to any leatherworkers'library.
Book Description
"I can think of no recent book about traditional crafts which has delighted me more than Joel Monture's
Complete Guide to Traditional Native American Beadwork. All too often, books of this nature are either as boring as a repair manual, or obscure and inaccurate. Monture's triumph is that his book is not only the best and most complete book about virtually every aspect of Native American beadwork tools, materials, styles and methods, it is also clear, interesting reading. Written from the point of view of a Native master craftsman who is also a gifted teacher, and accompanied by striking full-color photos, it can serve as either a beginning point or a lifelong reference tool. I am confident that Monture's book will bring him wide praise, not only from beadworkers, but also from any person who delights in knowing more about the meaning and the history of an indigenous artform which is finally attracting the sort of critical attention and informed appreciation it deserves."
—Joseph Bruchac, author of Keepers of the Earth
- Includes all the basic stitches and designs
- Contains a special section on natural tanning methods
- Extensive glossary
- Full-color photos of authentic Native American beadwork

Native American Beadwork & more!.......2006-03-16
This is a great book for those looking for authentic beadwork styles. The author covers a broad range of styles. He also discusses different backgrounds and even provides instruction for hide tanning.
Preserving tribal styles and techniques.......2004-09-18
The author, Joel Monture, is a professor of traditional arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. His thorough textbook documents not only native American beadwork techniques, but the tedious methods of leather preparation that are necessary prior to beading.
A San Antonio local artisan, Ken Yanez, is familiar with this process of scraping, lacing and brain-tanning leather. Ken befriended a native American while in the Marines and accompanied him home to the reservation during military leaves. There, an elder showed Ken some magnificent, old beadwork. Ken was surprised to learn that the tribal youth showed little interest, including his friend. Although Ken doesn't have sufficient native American ancestry to qualify for tribal membership, he made a personal commitment to learn these techniques. Ken's projects are authentically produced but cannot be labeled as "Indian made."
Why don't tribal youth show more interest in native American craft? Preparation for beading in the native American tradition, such as brain-tanning of hides, is labor intensive, although the results are buttery-soft, making the leather pliable for decorative beading and quilling. Because of the work and time involved, few of today's tribal youth want to perpetuate the craft. "Time" has become "money," so if there is interest in doing crafts in the classical tradition, it's to make some money. Ken will attest to the amount of time it took to make a cradle board for his son. He certainly couldn't sell it for a price to equal the months that he put into the project.
To offset the lack of interest in fine craft, author Joel Monture has captured the steps needed to recreate the obvious beauty inherent in native American beadwork. The book features 43 color plates of beadwork, including the styles of many North American tribes.
In one respect, Joel is preserving an anthropological record of the personal ornamentation used by various tribes by showing us the differences and similarities of style. To lose these tribal identifiers results in cultural homogeny and a disconnect with our human history. Joel's sense of history has led him to capture these artistic techniques before they are lost.
It's worth looking at........2004-07-15
I just got this book along with two others the other night. Haven't had the chance yet to read it completely yet. Having scanned it a bit though, I would say the section with color photos is good, particularly if you're a crafter looking for patterns. The text I've read up to this point is good and worth reading. I've had a little bit of a hard time with some of the diagarms though, particularly some of the ones dealing with hides and hide tanning. Not that I'm looking to tan hides right now, but I thought it would still be interesting to understand the process. Several of the stitch diagrams are easier to follow though. There are black and white photos as well in this book. Most came out fine, but I think a there are a few that must have had poor lighting.
beautiful book.......2003-03-31
i love indian art, traditional and contemporary. i have a small collection of northwest and inuit art. i have studied the histories of several nations. but i am not an indian. no matter how much study i may devote to indian arts and history, i will never be an indian, i will never have the intimate knowledge that comes from growing up in a culture. i would never presume to tell any member of any indian nation that his or her work was not 'traditional.'
and what, exactly, is tradtional? louise keyser, a washoe who died in 1925, created a new form of basket in the 1890s that was based on her tradition and her knowledge of other nations' traditions. this is what artists do--take what they know, build on it, and create new forms. after all, indians happily absorbed european beads into their 'traditions.'
i design my own knits, embroideries and beadwork. this book offers stunning photos and a good section on traditional color use which together give me a good starting point for my own creations and which is why i rate this book at five stars.
note on nomenclature: the indians i have known were not concerned about indian/native american. i object to native american since the indians migrated (IMmigrated) here just as everyone else has, albeit a few thousand years earlier. if i have offended any indian/native american by this use, i apologize. if a european doesn't like it, well....
Native Beadwork from a Native perspective.......2003-02-05
How interesting that the beadwork book chosen as more "authentic" by some here was written by a European from Germany! Mr. Monture is Six Nations (Mohawk, I believe) from New York State, & has taught Native Arts at the American Indian Arts Institute (a college *for* Native artists) for some years.
Again, its more about where you're from. Some could say it is 'romantized', as it doesn't go into how much work it actually is to produce hides, that its smelly, you need a lot of guidance & practice, etc.
Different tribes use different techniques, & this book is definitely written from a more northeastern tradition, perhaps difficult to appreciate as it is less known outside these communities. (Plains beadwork is usually what the mainstream usually recognizes as 'authentic'.)
That said, one probably needs a little background to get the most from this book. I do wish there was more discussion on color use and Great Lakes pattern development, but these are also skills which are best honed by doing. I enjoyed this book, which does pack a lot of information into relatively little space. The construction techniques are excellent!
Book Description
Here is THE book for sewers who always wanted to sew with leather or suede but were afraid to try. This book includes dozens of tips and techniques for sewing with these comfortable and durable materials on a standard home sewing machine.
Dozens of color photos, detailed illustrations, patterns, and step-by-step instructions guide readers through each project. Easily-sewn projects like belts, ties, vests, purses, and caps are presented first, then readers can try their hand at fancier skirts, tunic vests, pants and jackets. Gorgeous color photos of over 30 of the author's own garments inspire creativity and build confidence.
Starting with a thorough description of special tools and notions that work best for leather, Scrivano masterfully explains the differences between fabric- and leather-sewing techniques. The book then provides readers with a solid grounding in sewing techniques and stitches. Subsequent chapters detail how to plan a leather garment, beginning with design and pattern adjustment and continuing to cutting, sewing, and lining.
A special chapter on embellishment shows readers how to customize garments with finishing touches. Some techniques included are appliqu, unique pocket designs, stenciling, cording and binding, and handmade buttons.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing.......2001-09-26
I ordered this book after my DBIL brought me back some lambskins from Ecuador. Having never worked with leather I had no clue where to start. Sandy's last article in Threads was so inspiring but I was disappointed in the book. The book will be helpful to me as far as the basics go, but samples shown in Threads magazine and online were much better - at least for my taste.
This Book Is Just OK.......2000-10-14
In writing this book, the author took advantage of the fact that there aren't many leather sewing how-to books available.
But despite the lack of good books on this subject, this book is just ok, not great. It's not a must-have book. I am a pretty big fan of Lark Books' craft books (the publisher of this book) but this Leather book is pretty slim. Some of the author's garment examples are bizarre and one-of-a-kind, which I didn't find inspiring.
If you already have any experience at all sewing leather, you don't need this book. However, if you have never sewn leather and want a few basic pointers, basic pointers are within the scope of this book.
Finally! An inspiring and up-to-date book on sewing leather!.......1999-02-06
I love books that inspire me and make me want to create! Lark Books and Sandy Scrivano did just that! Beautiful photography, detailed and practical information, an informational glossary and a generous resource list (it's one thing to create, it's another to find the stuff!). You definitely won't think 60's when reading this book... this is LEATHER WITH ATTITUDE!

Great Ideas!.......2007-03-07
This book has really great projects even for those of us who haven't done a lot of leather crafting before. There are some really unique looks that I know would look great with my wardrobe.
Well done book with little to offer for serious projects.......2007-01-04
This book is beautifully done, but suffers from the problems I've seen in other books on leather bags. The actual leather bag patterns are too small to be practical for use. Many of the bags as shown appeal only to young girls playing dress up. This is not to say that they couldn't be made tasteful, if still undersized. A few of the projects, surprisingly, are only accented by leather and are otherwise store bought bags. There are some good ideas in this book, but not enought to justify the price for the already accomplished leatherworker. I don't recommend it, and would have returned it if the shipping both ways would not have exceeded the cost of the book.
Great idea ...............2006-07-15
Can't wait to try some of the project. This book give
leather craft a new look.

Customer Reviews:
Leather Tooling & Carving.......2003-09-28
Upon receiving the book, I was NOT too impressed. Although the book had some good "tid-bits" of information, it did not stand-up to it's title. (TOOLING & CARVING). About 1/5th of the book covered "tooling & carving" VERY LIGHTLY, and the rest were leather-working projects. As a matter of fact, keep in mind that this books copyright date is 1950 - so you can guess at some of the projects. But it is a decent book, and does cover some of the topics "lightly". I wish I could find something else to help me raise it to a rating of THREE STARS...but I can't. But as a helpful hint, you cannot go wrong with any of the "Al Stohlman" leather-working books. (Look for these, invest in these, be pleased with these). So to end, it's an OK book, but you can invest in a better product. Support your local leather-craft distributers, as they should carry the above mentioned books. (Hey...I bet Amazon.com may carries one or two of "Al's" books).
Good addition to your leather working library.......1999-04-02
This is a good book of project and design ideas for those still mastering the skills of leathercraft, as well as, the accomplished leather worker looking for different ideas. Projects are on a basic to intermediate level of accomplishment.

Book Description
Here is an instruction manual for the novice worker in rawhide. Unlike many other works on the subject, this book assumes no previous knowledge or experience. The reader is shown in drawings and photographs every step of the procedure, from starting with a fresh cowhide, through cutting strings and braiding them, to finished reatas, bosals, hobbles, or reins. The book also is useful to the collector of braided rawhide by demonstrating what to look for when buying an article. "For those who collect, use, or aspire to learn how to make your own cowboy horse gear, don't miss Woolery's book." --Western Horseman
Customer Reviews:
A complete guide to braiding horse tack........1998-05-21
Woolery has included a wide variety of braiding techniques and their application with regard to making horse tack. Although all of the examples are western-type tack, the pieces of tack described are useful to any horseman. Learning how to make your own tack can be very handy out on a trail when something breaks, and Woolery's book has enough information to become an expert or a competant amateur.

How to Make Whips.......2007-09-29
This book was ordered, because of the author is highly qualified in the ornamental knot arena. I am very pleased with the directions and illustrative drawings. A further good reference came from The Magazine of the International Guild of Knot Tyers, Issue 96, September 2007, giving it a glowing report in their Book Review section.

Great overview on whipmaking process, but NOT an instruction manual!!.......2006-10-20
I must say I did find this book fascinating and the information contained in it provided an overview of the entire process of whipmaking form skiving a core to to plaiting the overlay. However, If your looking for a step by step, ultra-specific instruction manual, taking you completely thru the process of making a whip from scratch, this book still is not quite it!!! Don't get me wrong, there is alot of great information, and this is certainly THE Published book to get that comes closest to an instruction manual, but I feel, if your an absolute beginner, you're still not quite going to be able to knock out a COMPLETE whip from scratch after reading this book. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I was looking for when I got this book.
For instance, whenever Mr. Edwards talks about anything to do with the "set"(the overlay plait) he is very specific. But he quickly glances over other parts of the whip that are equally as important(i.e. he never fully explains exactly how to correctly taper and shape cores or bellies for certain whips which is going to be devastating to the overall whip taper if you don't have it right). The section right in the beginning explaining the different types of Leather and Hides was also lacking. And I know he's an Australian, but he spends WAY to much time emphasizing Stockwhips and barely anytime on the most popular American whip, the Bullwhip(you will DEFINITELY NOT be able to make a proper bullwhip after reading this book).
If you really want an INSTRUCTION MANUAL guiding you specifically thru every single step in making a Bullwhip, then go to www.dukewhips.com and buy Rob Duke's Bullwhip Making Instruction Guide.
I really did enjoy Mr. Edwards book. As I said there are a number of extremely vital techniques explained that are invaluable to the whipmaking process. I just wish it would have pulled the entire whipmaking process together more coherently.
Ron makes it easy.......2006-08-28
Great book, well written and very easy to follow. Ron makes things so easy to follow that even the really hard stuff makes sense right off the bat. If you can't make a good quality whip after reading and following this book, give it up you never will be able to.
Book Description
This useful book contains complete illustrated instructions on all of the basics of Beadwork and Leather crafts of the American Indian and the early frontier. It is the second in a series on Traditional Indian Crafts and was written in answer to numerous requests for a "how to do it" book that would not only cover the basics of the traditional crafts of the American Indian, but would also present illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to do those crafts. The book has two objectives: To provide a clear, concise guide to the person who simply wants to make a nice attractive pouch or bag and to serve as a "primer" on the basics of traditional beadwork and leathercrafts of Native Americans for the craftsperson who wants to understand the techniques involved and, thereby, be able to construct other items using them.
Each project was written independent of all the others and will allow you to make any one item without reading the total book. Projects described include Leather Pouch, Strike-A-Lite Pouch, Knife Sheath, Beaded Sioux Pouch, Scissors Pouch, Beaded Crow Pouch, Fringed Pouch, Beaded Awl Case, Quilled Pipe Bag, Fringed Possibles Bag, Fringed Mirror Pouch, and Gage d'More Pouch.
In addition, craft techniques described include all the basics of working with and sewing leather, beading techniques such as edging, the lazy stitch, running stitch, "crow" stitch, spot stitch (for making rosettes), and return stitch, and the preparation and use of porcupine quills for quill wrapping. All of the pouches, bags and containers described may also be made without adornment if the craftsperson so chooses.
This book is designed so that even the beginning craftsman can create authentic Indian and frontier crafts with ease and learn the basic techniques while doing so! 137 illustrations; 15 B&W photographs, 4 pages in full color; index.
