From Our Students
We were there for six hours! Six Hours! Just for a little passport holder. I appreciate that Melodi, our teacher and the owner of the L For Leather Studio, pre-measured and cut all the leather pieces for us – and that she was very patient while teaching us.
Every step, from designing and cutting, to lubricating and stitching, must be done just right.
