Leather Tool Roll
Every leather crafter needs a tool roll, so why not make one out of leather yourself? This is a simple DIY project that will involve using a sewing machine, if you want to take the fast route. However, if you want a more ¨handmade¨ look and a slower option, you can hand-stitch as well.
