A Little Stress

I have always heard working with leather is difficult because most mistakes cannot be fixed. So, on Thursday, when I was asked to put a name on a leather guitar strap I wasn't too sure if I wanted the job.Most places are not able to even begin a job for at least 6 to 8 weeks; and since the strap was to be a Christmas gift I held my breath and decided to give it a try. As the machine was sewing I sat and watched each stitch until the name was finished.

I am very pleased with how it came out and now my heart is beating once again!
