Sweet looking bag. I think I can answer that question, wether you hand sewed or not. I hand sew everything and I say you used a machine. Stitches are deeper when hand sewn. Great job, hope you have seen some of my bags. Keep it up.

Well I have news for you, don't buy a Techsew or a Juki, I had both and now I prefer to sew by hand.

Bible Cover

I hope your fly fisherman is not the front of the Bible or he will be upside down. Looks nice otherwise. -
Sure my friend, any time. The edges I bind with a strip of soft leather cut about 5/8" wide and punch holes along both edges about 1/8" from edge, curl over the raw edge and sew through the three layers and there you have it. Keep in mind that I sew all of my work by hand, no machines are used ever. I enjoy the sewing part.

This bracelet is one of about five or six that I have made this way. I like to do them in such a way that no metal from the snaps is exposed or touching your skin. Each piece is individually cut and attached with contact cement, then trimmed and sewn. Three different leathers are used here, the thinner and softer, which is the purple in this case, is used as the one that is against your skin. Hope you all enjoy my designs and feel free to leave your comments.
