-anything fur, leather, or suede related

How to select an appropriate length of time:
If you are new to sewing, or if you would like to learn a completely new technique, we will likely need 1.5- 2 hours. If you have some experience, 1 hour is likely sufficient. I will try to fit as much information as I can within the amount of time of our appointment and be mindful of time. If the appointment runs over, you may be charged accordingly.
