Here’s the process in more detail:
2. Fill out the order form using your own email address, name and address. However, when the form asks you to choose a username, choose a username that would be appropriate for your gift recipient. For example, if you’re giving the subscription to someone named, Sally Jones, create a username like “sjones”. Use your credit card or PayPal to pay for the subscription.
3. Now for the fun part! Give your gift recipient the username and password you used to set up their gift subscription and tell them to login. They can easily change their new account’s name, email address and/or password by logging in and clicking “Edit Profile”.

Leather Fashion Design, written by our founder Francesca Sterlacci
Leather Fashion Design is a practical introduction for students explaining how to make garments from leather, suede, and similar materials. It covers everything from what to look for in choosing a skin to work with, through pattern-making, sewing techniques, and finishing. The final chapter includes working with “leather-like” materials including Ultrasuede and faux patent leather. This book is a nice compliment to our video lessons, Leather: From Tanning to Types, Faux Leather, Suede & Patent Leather Sewing Tips, Leather Sewing Techniques, and our series on planning a leather jacket, from Leather Sorting & Cutting, Interfacing & Stabilizing Leather Seams to our 4-part lessons on how to sew the jacket.
