Higgy Report post Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Nice work. Did you use thin nylon webbing between the strap layers? Yes, thin strips of polyester or nylon webbing that I bought from the Army Navy store. It helps keep the thin leather from stretching or breaking. I went to your web site and was impressed and inspired. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from The Saddleback leather site, but I think yours is a level or two better. What I see on your site is what I am working toward doing some day. I started small and simple and am trying to work my way up to the complexity and quality that I see in your work. After reading your descriptions, I think I need to learn to mix some hand sewing with my machine work to finish the tough spots better. Where do you get your leather? Brass hardware? So far I get most of my materials from Tandy. Edited March 12, 2010 by Higgy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esantoro Report post Posted March 13, 2010 I think incorporating hand stitching in certain areas is important. I just saw a $1300 John Varvatos bag with horrible stitching and horrible hardware.
