Is an old craft dying, Ms. Lederhosen maker?

Monika Nuener from Sistrans in Tyrol is one of the last of her guild. Her hands have been her most important tool for 40 years. The busy practitioner pleads for more courage to fail so that young people can learn old crafts. 

"Mistress of the situation" is written on a sign in Monika Nuener's small workshop. The trained menswear maker specialized in leather years ago and makes garments that will last forever. At a time when many trends don't even last a season.
