I wrote up a tutorial of my first leatherworking project. It took a lot of time and research, but I know anyone who has time and patience can do it. I also really want to thank the Tandy man who talked to me for about an hour when I went to their store. He gave me so much advice. Thank you!

I also learned a lot about leatherworking from :iconmerimask: who has a great maskmaking tutorial on her livejournal. I mean, that's what armor is, right? A mask for your body. Yesssss. Thank you!

Sorry for any typos (so tired), and please ask any questions you may have.

Once you've shaped the leather, does it keep its shape? like if it gets wet from rain and such?

Rain should be fine if you seal it. It will still keep its shape. It would only be likely to lose its shape if you dunked it in water or if it wasn't sealed and got soaked by the rain.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm working on doing a Rogue Shadowblade set right now. But I have no idea when I'll be able to finish it.

Awesome! I find that I enjoy costuming most when I don't give myself a deadline and don't know when I'll finish something. Just doing a little when I find time or feel like it is nice. =)
