Maruchi; Is this hand embroidery? Are you doing this also? Can you show how it is done?

Hi, Jack

This is machine embroidery. I just used zigzag patern at pig leather (about 2cm wide), and sewed on foundation cow leather.

For old time hand embroidery method, I should soak the leathers at water, and soften them, and sew thousands columns to be a row.

It's really hardworking.

But I have a sewing machine, so I applied modernization of embroidery.
