I used Youtube mostly when learning leather craft. There are lots of good videos on there for it

i recommend you tube. much better to see someone do it.
my favorites are:

Ian atkinson - sheathes and pouhes
Armitage leather - has build along patterns you can buy, but the instructions on the video are very comprehensive - belts, bags and gentleman's apparel
harry rodgers - has some leather but also other traditional crafts

Any of the above books and there's loads of info on the internet but it's not always correct.

A good book for learning to sew is " The art of hand sewing leather by Al Stohlman" very detailed and explains various methods.

I have just started working with leather.
I found the book - The Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michael interesting and informative. This concentrates on projects when using thick leather.

just pm me

Finally got a chance to read through the PDF you sent me. Fantastic stuff. Now I want to read every leather working book I can find.

Thanks
