I had a thought for a leather DIY project the other day and since I recycled the rest of my leather skirt to make my DIY over-the-knee boot spats, I headed to a little local leather shop in North Hollywood called Tandy Leather Factory.
They have quite a large selection of leather for such a little shop including both untreated raw leather sides {above} and pre-tanned and treated leathers and suede sides {below}.
Pre-cut leather belt strips ...some with stamped floral carving, some raw, some tanned/dyed/treated and a variety of belt buckles to match.
Stones, rivets, grommets, conchos, studs, you name it, they have it including tools for setting them all.
Hair-on cowhides + designer hair-on cowhides -leopard, zebra printed & dyed in bright colors, rabbit furs & sheepskins
What I left with . . .
Treated black leather side, black suede lacing, a sheepskin {on sale for $30 ...I'm going back for more} & a leopard printed rabbit fur ...I know, kinda sad. DIY coming soon

Hm. In theory it would be really simple to make a leather t-shirt. (Currently lemming one after reading Susie Bubble's blog. You'd have to line it in silk, I suppose...)
Maegan!! WOW!! such an amazing, detailed job showing this awesome place! Thank you so much! I am really looking forward to the DIY! I love all your DIYS {every single one}....and I just love it so much when you throw in some leather ones. You are so incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and have so many years of experience working with leather... you deserve leather creations...except this time around ... with YOUR name on it {how it should be}!! {I read the latest interview, you gave, a few days ago...thats what I'm referring to ;) }
Hope you have a great day and sorry for the super long comment!
Wow... So exciting... Thanks for sharing this leather shop... I make handbags and am always looking for new leather places....

Thanks for sharing this! I've been looking for a place that sells leather. All my local fabric shops just sell crappy vinyl and it's too hard for me to buy online because I like to feel it before I purchase it. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it up there this week.
I love leather items. I cannot wait to see what you create Maegan! xo

YOU need to do shop reviews more often.
That's like a crafters/DIY'rs mecca! Love all the colors/textures!
Can't wait to see what YOU my dear, come up with!
What a great place! And I can't wait to see your DIY.

Can't wait to see what you create, darling!

Wow, that store looks awesome! All we have here is Michaels and Walmart :(
um, this is a pretty rad find! i almost want to go there and get some goodies!
Wow, what for an amazing shop, you are really lucky to have such a geat offer nearby you!
Aw, I thought you only wore vintage fur. I saw this awful video of a rabbit slaughterhouse and I still haven't been able to get the rabbits' shrieks out of my mind.
I can't wait to see what you come up with! That pink leather is gorgeous in theory but what would you do with pink leather?? lol.

P.S. I JUST "CLICKED ON" AND FOUND A TANDY LEATHER SHOP IS IN SAN MATEO, WHICH IS NEAR S.F. THANKS!
I used to LOVE going to Tandy with my Dad as a kid. We did all kinds of leather work projects. I still have the belt he made me and a few other treasures.
Can't wait to see your DIY!
wow! I want a shop like this in Madrid!!!!!!
So what did you end up making with your purchases? I have a bad of leather ends that I picked up at my local leather shop. So I was hoping for some inspiration.
