Beautiful, but maybe not as detailed as it could be with instructions and some patterns make sense to not have size variations, but others should and don't (corset, dresses, shirt, etc.). The pattern inspiration photos are eye candy though and I think with my basic knowledge of sewing and youtube searches for more advanced steps, most patterns feel doable. This will be my first time working with leather,  but I'm excited for the challenge. I appreciate that the pattern downloads include both larger format and 8.5x11 so I can print at home.
