Simply Clover Handcrafted Leather Bags

It all started one glorious Saturday morning…

After a well rested sleep I sat right up in my bed and said “I am going to make leather handbags.” After I said it I laughed because I had no idea how I was going to do it. At that time I didn’t even own a sewing machine. But when a calling arrives, you don’t denounce it, you embrace it and run. I started reading everything I could get my hands on; I must have bought 20 different books (thanks to Amazon!) and read dozens of blogs. I learned as much as I could about leather and eventually found myself sewing it for the first time. Let me just say it was a complete disaster but it was a start and one day built upon another. I realized that it isn’t about skill, you can acquire it. It isn’t about intelligence, you can learn. It is about raw passion, down deep in the roots of your soul. Find it, live it, love it and stay foolish!
