This is the subreddit for all leathercrafters. Here, we learn about techniques and tools, develop our skills, solve problems, and showcase our beautiful works of functional art.

Showing off items that you've made using commercial patterns is fine, selling patterns isn't. If you want to list an item, pattern for sale, or commission one, please do so on /leatherclassifieds.
No Community Poaching

/leathercraft is a broad community composed of leatherworkers of all kinds. Everybody isn't into the same things and that's fine by us. If you don't like something, downvote and move on.

First time offenses will result in a temporary ban. Repeated offenses will result in a permanent ban. Spamming Modmail will not help your case. - No Community Poaching

Cross-posting should be relevant to the community and not done in a manner that may be perceived by the community as commercial in nature.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
