  1. I tried it out.. but use some other measures... I think it’s nice
  2. Just lay it out on top of the back side, and trace around the edge with an awl or something that leaves a mark... put a picture of the pattern here if it’s difficult so we can see what it’s all about...
  3. I really love the way it just took over I'm sure it's one of a kind...
  4. Yep we're going to a wedding so a small bag was needed... only took 3 hours to make, that includes making up a pattern... no glue, and 26 stitches in all, so edges and pattern making was most time consuming
  5. Made a small bag for the weekend it was a nice little project
  6. That's really cool! I wish I could make stamps but my skill lies elsewhere
  7. That's beautiful... such a nice job you did!
  8. It's not a step I would skip.... makes a big difference in the final look and feel.... I found that if you follow the edge guide on this forum, it's not so hard to get a ok edge.

    That's a nice little object, how did you make it?
  10. Thanks, I think after using it it only gets better looking
  11. No but here in Denmark it has a really disgusting smell... I think the stuff is sprinkled with some kind of awful perfume Just praise yourself lucky you won't experience that.
  12. Potato flour... works on all sorts of things... maybe it will do the trick.... kitty stuff smells so bad...I hope the odor won't transfer

    I love it... very old school
  14. Thanks billybopp for the thoughts on the carving.. and thanks for the nice words
  15. Thanks for the kind words, I don't know about carving, because I haven't ever tried it... but maybe someone with more knowledge than me, know the answer to your question
  16. I use saddle stitches too, I make them tight but not super tight... and use a 18/5 hemp thread. I think the space is more clear when it's a single piece of leather, than when you stitch two pieces together....
  17. I did the pattern myself after looking at a lot of pictures at Pinterest.. I had some things I definitely wanted, like the back pocket... I'm really happy you like it
  18. Thanks for the kind words sofaspud
  19. So my wife had her birthday today and I made to items for her. For the last year she complained about the fact, that she didn't get a bag from me and why I was doing them for everyone else. I tried to argue that the other people paid for the bags, but she just dismissed that argument so today she finally got the bag and was thrilled... and I also did a belt she really liked. Both items is made of black veg tan leather, hand stitch and the bag got brown goat lining. I would love your opinion on the items, good day to you all.
  20. I really like the ones with the fishes, and what lovely color they all have. You did good
  21. I really like your bags, beautiful work lovely stitching.. machine?
