In an earlier Blog in July I introduced my Little Leather Books. These have been well received and I continue to add to the range of titles. I will be happy to receive suggestions for new titles. Here is the current full range. I will have my Little Leather Books at both Buxton and Bakewell over the coming days. I will also have them with me at future events.

I have sold hundreds of bags of my "Textile Collage Pieces" but I rarely get to see what projects they have been used in by the purchaser.I recently received the following from Trish Gilbert: "I love the little fabric pieces I bought from you at Stafford. I tried experimenting with crochet for no other reason than I like the colours/textures!" This particular image is from the Pam Carriker Images pack.

In addition to my website I also post pictures of my work and activities to my Facebook business page: Jamessharpart My Twitter address is @jamessharpart When I did the Custer Street and Fountain Square Fairs in a 10' x 10' gazebo it occurred to me that I could use my Big Bunting to decorate and advertise at the same time. I set about creating the flags and made them 12" across and 19" deep. I have put the top ribbon through a "tunnel" at the top of the flag so that the spacing and length of the run can be adjusted to meet the configuration of the stall. Here are the initial nine flags that I have created. I used them at the Chorlton Community Market and at Altrincham last weekend. I am happy to discuss any projects that you may have for Bunting, big or small. Don't hesitate to contact me.

Following a suggestion by Jenny Thompson I have developed a new range of Little Leather Books featuring theme subjects. Each book is made from recycled materials including upholstery leather and envelopes. Each book has three hand sewn signatures which give 112 usable sides of paper. The books are approx 3" x 3". I will have stock of this new range at Chorlton on Saturday 12 July and Altrincham on Sunday 13 July and at events thereafter.
I recently made His and Her Aprons for friends that we were visiting. His Apron is a version of the "BBQ TSAR" Apron and Her's is a new design, "KITCHEN GODDESS". Both aprons have adjustable neck straps and are fully lined. If you would like me to make an Apron to your specifications don't hesitate to contact me.
My first customer on the Sunday of the Fountain Square Art Festival liked my slim line apron but also wanted a large pocket. She also needed extra long side ties so that she could fasten the apron at the front. Finally she said that she wanted the slimline apron style of collage to be extended down over the pocket to the base of the apron. And why not? I have been enjoying myself creating the Combination Apron for her. If you would like me to make an apron to your own specifications don't hesitate to contact me.
I recently made these three denim bags. Each one is fully lined and has a velcro fastening. All three bags were sold to the same customer on first showing. If you would like to purchase a denim bag contact me to discuss your specifications.
