I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Leathercraft

[Leathercraft] Easy Guide! What kind of hobby is leathercraft? What tools do you need? How do you get started?

Leathercraft

Leathercraft is the art of making various items using leather.

You can create everything from small accessories like card cases and wallets to larger items like bags.

Some people might think, “Don’t you need a special sewing machine to sew leather?” but the basics of leathercraft are hand stitching.

By punching stitch holes in advance, you can sew by hand using a needle.

Start with a leathercraft kit sold at craft stores, then try making projects using patterns available online.

As you get used to it and start designing your own patterns, you’ll enjoy creating whatever you want even more.

Easy Long-tailed Tit

[Beginner] As simple as possible! [How to make a Long-tailed Tit]

Easy Long-tailed Tit

This is about making a long-tailed tit, notable for its white and soft appearance, using faux fur fabric.

The key points are how to make the most of the fabric’s softness and how rounded to make the final shape.

You’ll cut the fabric using a pattern, sew the pieces together, then stuff them with filling to create a round form.

Since you’ll combine the body and tail before adding the stuffing, it may be important to sew while keeping the final shape in mind.

It’s also interesting that the impression changes depending on how much stuffing you use.
