so this monday i started an internship at a really big custom furniture producer who makes really expensive custom sofas and shit for ppl

and on the very first day one of the leather scraper machines (to make the edges thinner so its not as bulky) caught fire briefly

it went out before the fire alarm or sprinklers went off but it melted some scraps of leather and it smelled really bad for the rest of the day haha. also it was just uhhh a litte more exciting than i hoped for!

today i finished day 3 and started to actually make something the customer will use instead of just the instructor letting me do test/practice jobs. its really easy "sew on velcro to the inner lining" job but it feels cool to know someone will own the thing i sewed velcro to  even tho it will be inside the piece and they will propably never really see it haha

I hope everything continues to go well and I would extend too!
Hell, by the end of those 2 months, I’d know how to build/create chairs
ok not really because I can’t build a damn thing but I enjoy watching the process 
and how everything comes together

is leather difficult to work with?

is leather difficult to work with?
i havent graduated to leather yet (nor will i soon i think) but yeah its hard to work with. any holes in leather are in there forever so you cant really undo and try again without it being visible. also its kinda not that bendy (compared to many woven fabrics) which is why that leather scraper thing to make the edges thinner, sfter and more pliable exists 

i have only worked with pleather (way less expensive to waste on an apprentice) but thats similiar in some aspects

That sounds stressful and idk if I would ever move on from pleather 
Do you sew for yourself and make clothes as well?
