Jan/Feb. 2001: Vol. 11, Issue #1
Page Count: 206
Notes: This is a huge square-bound edition of this magazine, with a complete catalog of all the issues(including the cover of each!) ala the catalog you are looking at right now. 60 issues with a ton of tutorials and projects packed into each one takes a lot of space to catalog, hence the 206 page monster that this is. Gareth Thomas' Vambrace with Articulated Elbow pattern didn't make it into this issue's pattern sheet insert - it's in the Mar/April issue..

Notes: The "Armour Shell Pouch" looks like there's a cute armadillo crouched on the back of your hand - the name doesn't really do it justice, so I thought I'd give a visual description to hint at how cool this is; For those who are curious, IFoLG stands for "International Federation of Leather Guilds"...

2021: 6 ISSUES

Jan/Feb. 2021: Vol. 31, Issue #1
Page Count: 80
Notes: If you've ever wondered idly why it would be worthwhile to treasure hunt for the old "The Leather Craftsman" and "Make It With Leather" issues, just take a look at the reprinted patterns often given to fill space on the PATTERN PULLOUT SECTION - Christine Stanley's work alone is well worth the price of admission. For those who think women are excluded from this craft, I think you'd be surprised how many women artists pop up in the pages of these issues. And then there's all those really cool Craftool tutorials done faithfully by Al Stohlman. There may be new techniques and styles - but the old ones are still tried and as true today as they were 50 years ago. The Al Stohlman tutorials are so crystal clear and interesting - there are excellent reasons why he's considered one of the most important names in Leatherwork...
