  1. Thank you. Good idea
  2. Good day! I got some hair on hide remnants, from my brother-in-law. He had a couch recovered with it, and I wanted to make a pillow case, as a thank you. The case would be HOH on one side and upholstery leather on the other side. My question: for a 16x16 pillow, what size should my panels be? Should it be approximately 1/2 the pillow thickness? Thank you Richard
  3. I’m aware that most of the leather that I will use for belts/straps will stretch over time and use. if I don’t want it to stretch, I will use nylon ribbon, or fabric book binding tape, between the two pieces of leather. but if I just want to mitigate some of the stretch, on a single layer, will putting a stitch on the edges do that? Thank you Richard
  4. Finally completed my new stitching pony. thanks for the inspiration. For comparison, the small one is from Amazon, it no work so good.
  5. I did a “search”, of various wording about Stitching Pony. The biggest results was 33,800! After a month of going through them all, insert going crazy emoji here. I turn to you good people. I am looking for simple plans to build a stitching pony. That’s it. thank you Richard. ps, I didn’t really go through 33800 results!
  6. That makes sense. Thanks
  7. Thank you for your help. I agree, it definitely will be a tricky one. am wondering if I could solder a wire frame that would be in between the two layers. Might work on a coin. this will require some bourbon and more thinking!
  8. Good day, I would love to do a keychain, or something similar, that has a stone/coin with both sides visible. My questions are ; what are the key points to securing the item in place? Considering how much handling it might endure, such as a keychain/fob going in and out of a purse or pocket. ok, that’s one question, but with multiple points to consider! thank you Richard
  9. I have never been disappointed on this site. Thanks to everyone who has responded.
  10. How diluted?
  11. Thanks for the quick response. I’ll give it a try.
  12. Good day, I am seeking advice. I made a belt for work. The edge coat (fiebings) rubs off on to my shirt, white shirt of course, when it gets wet from rain or sweating. Is there a way to prevent this from happening or do I need to refinish the edges with a different method or material? Thank you Richard
  13. I did a quick search on “Since”, but didn’t find anything. it looks as if Tandy decided they better put out some better tools, instead of resting on their laurels.? lots of competition out there. thank you for the response.
  14. I received the new flyer from Tandy, anyone know anything about the SINCE manufacturer? They look pretty good on paper! Thank you
  15. I do have a water bladder from Tandy for that, thank you. And I will probably use it, but was interested in the historical context.
