Very cool patchwork! Hi, I'm from central Indiana. We need to see a photo of the bike! My husband is building a shovelhead and posting photos on his own blog of the progress www.anythinggoes74.com if you're interested in looking. Good luck on your leather work ahead!
This may be a stupid question but are you sure it's veg-tan leather? Also if you have used any contact cement around your work area I know that will stop dye penetration.
Bluesman, Have you thought of using contact spray adhesive on your items? That's what I use instead of the messy stringy brushes. I get mine from Foam n'More. It has a nice fan pattern when it sprays. I just mask off where I don't want glue.
Thanks Stitchwizzard, I see you sew leather. What Singer machine do you have to sew with. I may be starting to look for a simple machine to start out with.
Thanks
You can get the triple loop info in the Lacing and Stitching booklet from Tandy. I've also seen it on Ebay. Also there's instruction online and I can't remember the site if I do I'll get it to you. It takes 9 times the length in lace.
Thanks Shadowryder, I always use the triple loop and this one I made slits instead of holes. I think I need to venture out and try some other techniques though. I don't want them looking all the same.
Thanks everyone for looking.
