Can anybody put me in contact with someone local who can advise me on sewing leather?  I have been studying how to tan hides and would like to make an article of clothing or some project but know little about sewing, and nothing about sewing leather.  Last night I collected a beautiful 6' long Rattlesnake skin.  I'm so looking forward to doing something new and exciting with it.

Pidder can sew, but (like me) she has no experience sewing leather or skins.
