Elizabeth Bond The Smart Stitcher
Welcome to my You Tube channel. I am a teacher and bespoke maker of leather and textiles goods. I love making and finding out how things are made. I also love teaching people and passing on my skills, which I hope to do here.
If I could, I'd love to get everyone making as there is no feeling quite like it in these modern times.
