[Very First Project.]

hello all.

i received my new Osbourne head knife, so i decided to make a sheath to protect it.

this was my very first project involving stamping and stitching.

first, i traced the knife blade on a piece of cardstock. then added about 1/2" to it for stitching.

then i use a stitch groover for the stitching border, then for the inner pattern border.

i punched the stitching holes using a 4 prong 8066 punch and stamped it with the x502s triweave stamp.

after stitching was complete with waxed thread, i used an edge beveler and burnished with gum taraganth.

then i used eco-flo "Briar Brown" to stain it, followed by Dark Brown Edge Cote.

i really need to find a better way to punch holes for stitiching. i had a difficult time lining up the holes of the two leather pieces...

i think it turned out ok for a first try. some of the stamping was a bit off, but i can live with it. i think i need more dye practise too..

be gentle with me... its my first time!

try gluing the edges together first before punching holes
