Hi everyone, I make handbags, sweater coats , and lots of other things.  I need ideas on displaying enerything.  It tends to look cluttered.I made walls from pvc pipe and lattis,  but need water falls or something that Ican put more items on to display. Any one got any ideas?

I also like to use leather coats, skirt for use stores. The leather comes in a lot of different colors. They are worn so a bit softer. The prices can't be beat.

For leather that you want to make bags out of that are not to be carved I recommend 2-4oz . designer clothing is usually 1oz For biker Jackets 2-3 oz the terms glovey, soft etc denotes a drape. Firm etc is usually stiff I have several industrial machines so can handle many weights. Also a skiving machine to thin the leather edges down For a domestic machine the lighter weight.

I found some on ebay. I'm not sure about the weights, though. One piece was very soft and easy to sew. The other was more stiff. Does anyone know what weights are good to work with? I used mine for hats.

Several places that you can get leather.Depending on the type of leather,weight, style, cost and volume need. You can go to Tandy Leather where you can buy one hide or to other wholesale places such as Siegel of California to buy leather. There are places in NY city where you can get leather too but I've not dealt with them. But from my viewpoint it really depends on the weight of the leather not all places handle all weights.

I'd like to join. Does it count if I paint silk scarves?
