Saddle-stitched goods that outlast you
I learned to stitch from a saddle maker in Siloam Springs who had been doing it for fifty years and did not believe in sewing machines. He is the reason every seam I make is two needles and a length of waxed thread, pulled tight by hand, one hole at a time. It is slower. It also means that if a stitch ever breaks, the rest hold.
Still Creek Leather is a small shop at the end of a gravel road in Bella Vista. I use vegetable-tanned leather from two American tanneries, cut every piece by hand from the hide, and finish edges with beeswax and a lot of burnishing. Hardware is solid brass because plated brass wears through. Read the rest →
