My mom is very into crafting and sewing. She absolutely loves this gift.
This is a really nice kit to gift to someone wanting to step into leathercrafting world. I love the leather they chose for this project too because it's good quality and has a nice leather smell. Great instructions as well.
I plan to use this to craft a wallet for my mother and surprise her.
The dark green color is like a forest green, darker than a kelly green. The embossed calfskin leather is beautiful, and the lambskin lining is super soft. Assembly required gluing and trimming leather pieces, in addition to stitching. Also, the leather edges were unfinished/unpainted, so I used Edge Kote purchased from Amazon, and painted, buffed, and re-painted many layers of the paint sealant onto all the edges until they were smooth.
I love that the holes for stitching are angled slots instead of big round holes. Although the round-hole kits are easier to sew, the angle-slots can make for a more beautiful and professional-looking finished project. Unfortunately, the hardware/buckle is flawed (bumpy, dimpled surface), so I kept this wallet instead of gifting it as I originally intended.
