Bag Hippie Style.
DoubleC replied to Samar's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Beautiful work. You caught the era perfectly. However the jeans shouldn't have been 'skinny' but flared at the bottom. Perfect oh the hiphuggers, and your bag is also beautiful. Cheryl -
I enjoyed reading this because I hate to make wallet interiors. However, right here in the pinned tutorials at the top is a Kevin King tutorial on making a wallet and he covers the glued backs. Although I think he uses some kind of special card stock. Cheryl

Help! Wanted Techsew Stitching Nirvana, Got The Blahs Instead
DoubleC replied to YinTx's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
It could be yin, machines have a steep learning curve. I think the 26 is too big though, I really do. I use 24s with my 277 and it seems to work well. I get mine a pkg a time from cobra steve and he tells me what I need. -
Camano, you were a lot nicer than I was. I hope being direct will save his project. Maybe not but we tried. Cheryl

Help! Wanted Techsew Stitching Nirvana, Got The Blahs Instead
DoubleC replied to YinTx's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Yin? who did you let talk you into 100.00 worth of needles and to change what the tecksew had in it already. Did it sew with that needle? -
Your 'roon looks oily on top which means the steel wool had oil in it and you're supposed to wash it out. Then you dump downy in it for that fresh soft feeling vinegaroon. THEN you run out and get peroxide to try and speed the process and have it done in one day? You are about to ruin a trench coat. I've been using vinegaroon for 3 years and never heard of using peroxide. You also didn't say what kind of leather and if it's not undyed veg tanned you're about to ruin a trench coat. If you don't give the 'roon time to work you're going to ruin a trench coat? I repeated myself because you asked for help here but didn't listen to the suggestions. So when you ruin a trench coat (4th time) please don't come back here and say we steered you wrong. Chryl

I don't see any difference in this than any other hair on hides we use? I say good on her for using an otherwise wasted resource It does make me wonder about whether the hawks and buzzards are getting enough to eat. I've seen hawks swoop down on a freshly hit animal and of course buzzards, as nuch as the turn my stomach, do have a place here in this world. But she says the amount of road kill is enormous so that shouldn't be a problem.

As difficult as most of us find setting snaps, I'd get this best quality you can find. I had the same problem when I started of none snapping snaps. Practice cured this plus watching a youtube video on them over and over. Cheryl

The one with the most toys wins right? How about the one with the most people. Spent NY Eve in NYC right at Madison Square Gardens with a gazillion of my closest friends. Damn shame I was too tired to enjoy it. Happy NY to you all.

Things I've Learned About Leatherworking Last Week
DoubleC replied to DoubleC's topic in All About Us and Off Topic
Randi, she can just SIT and shed, LOL. Fortunately she's not into chewing the leather except about 6 years ago she chewed the top off of my LL Bean boot. I was most annoyed. Grey Drakkon I seem to need to keep learning that lesson. And David I totally agree with you. But there is still that nagging urge to tweak the plan And Silverbullet I am really happy you have a great Tandy store. Cheryl -
I'll admit I'm torn on this issue. And I'll also admit I'm a hypocrite. I don't mind using the reptile skins at all but the mammals still give me a twinge when I order them. I didn't see this until today so I probably would have been buying from them in the past. Now it seems like the only purpose to buy it would be to moo about myself and what a good person I am. I honestly am a good person but I also love working with leather. Odd I won't use elephant and SLC knows not to send it to me in my exotic packs. But that a whole different story....Cheryl

LOL, Randi, good idea. I have a dog that provides all the hair on whether I want it or not. She can just look at a project and it has hair on it. -
