First leather craft project

[1 shot willie]

You will soon pick it up Mark.... And wonder what all the fuss was about.
Keeping an even tention on each stitch will help.
The stitching pony will help a lot.

Looking forward to giving it a go

Thought I would practice putting the buttons/rivets (still learning the lingo lol) on, may seem like waste but I would rather practice

 

[Ark79]

Thought I would have a go at the stitching tonight, got a little inpatient that’s the belt strap on and the two panels glued together, I definitely need more practice at saddle stitching lol. It won’t win any awards lol , but am happy with that for a first attempt, can only get better

Slight delay on the dye folks, will get round to finishing the pouch next week, am taking Sharon and the kids for a 3 day break to a caravan, so that will slow the finishing off to

Spot on Mark

 

[Ystranc]

Mark, have you ever done anything with that Kinnock's skinning knife with the leather handle? That would be nice for having a proper sharpen up and a tooled sheath.

 

[Ark79]

Totally forgot about that It’s been on top of the kitchen cupboard lol
