    Nice! I love that geometric print on the back.
  2. MonicaJacobson
    Yes, that helps mostly with getting a nice edge. Not that I've got nice edges... but I hear it's possible...
  3. MonicaJacobson
    It looks great. Professional.
  4. MonicaJacobson
    Gorgeous work. Love the tooling and the colors.

    No idea. I'd like to find out, too. I've only used about eight kinds of horween. Haven't gotten around to Rockford yet.

    Nice job!
  7. MonicaJacobson
    Hey, it turned out great! Nice work!
  8. MonicaJacobson
    Really nice work. You've got a few stitching inconsistencies here and there, but you started with a difficult project, and you made it look great. Congratulations! I'm sure the next thing you make will look even better.
  9. MonicaJacobson
    You're right, David. It's just another area in which I need to pay attention and practice. Meanwhile... I have my cheat.
  10. MonicaJacobson
    Awesome. Love the tooling, as usual.

    Mine weren't that great, but I don't even have the excuse that they were the first thing I made. I spent eight months making things like pouches, bracelets, and books before I tried a wallet. I did these about 2 1/2 years ago. Then, unlike the rest of you, I decided wallets were too much of a pain, and am only just now learning how to do them properly.

    Sweet, hunio. :-D

    Good idea, Chris. I should be doing that. To solve the same problem, I have been using a square when I punch holes in the gusset. First, I punch the holes in the front and back, doing my best to make sure I punch the same number of holes. Then I cut the gusset long, and use a square to check every couple of inches to make sure I'm using the chisel evenly on both sides of the gusset. Once I've reached the same amount of holes on the front and back, I cut off the extra gusset length on both sides. So yes..... overly complicated, compared to what David and Chris are saying. But I don't have to worry about inconsistent stitching on the back.

    Sweet, thanks for the info. I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for horse Dublin. It makes a killer wallet back. I've also not tried Rockford, yet.
  15. MonicaJacobson
    Cool!
  16. MonicaJacobson
    Very nice and clean. Dublin is my favorite. I didn't realize it came in horse-hide strips, though. I thought Dublin was cowhide/veg tanned, and horse-hide strips were chromexcel. But I also find it difficult to find much information about the different Horween leathers until you accidentally find them for sale somewhere.

    Ni ce! Yes, I think I like the top/zipper on the second bag, better.
  18. MonicaJacobson
    Chris, both of them are beautiful. What about a side view of the gusset on both bags? I like the pocket and the strap attachment better on the first one, but that's a matter of preference.
  19. MonicaJacobson
    Nice braiding. I got some alligator scraps, and I have NO IDEA how to use them. They are so ridgey.
  20. MonicaJacobson
    Very nice, I especially liked the handbag. I look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
  21. MonicaJacobson
    Nice work!
  22. MonicaJacobson
    I ordered a couple of hides from them on Tuesday. They're always great.
  23. MonicaJacobson
    Cool, both cases are sweet. Coaxing a leather sewing machine seems to be an art all in itself.
  24. MonicaJacobson
    Cool. I'd like to see how that actually works when you're wearing it. Did you sew it by hand?
  25. MonicaJacobson
    That's sweet! I've always wanted to marble paper (someday), it hadn't occurred to me that it was possible to marble leather.
