Purse - learning by doing

Thanks! I suffer from that to, so it is SO liberating to be happy with a less than perfect pice, it is perfect for my use for it, so it is kind of perfect anyway, or something like that. Thank you -

I mean that I would like them to be only brass or only silver metall, not a mix. I will remember that next time. I have seen that video over and over and over , I had some issues with my glue, needels, and and awl, rest is just lack of experience. Hopefully next big projeckt will be more picture perfect Maybe... But I love it like it is, it turned out much better than I could have hoped. This is my first ever projeckt bigger than 10 by 10 cm. Its perfeckt as a walk/training bag for walks with the dogs or rides on my horse :D -

thanks! I wantet the seems on the outside, but thanks for the feedback :D Angree on the angels. -
So... I was out walking my 3 dogs and had my cellphone in one hand, treats in the other hand, and a serious need for free hands, and no pockets on my clothes. I needed a purs/bag that was easy to bring on walks, something made for walks and training dogs, with room for wather bottle, phone, treats, poopbags and leash. I had som ebay leather lying around, think it is upholstry/furniture leather? And I really can not follow instructions over a long period of time, and there are only so many small practise projects I need lying around. Sooo with a need and leather, I made a purse/bag. Real learning by doing projects. No manual, just what I rember from watching youtube. I wanted a rustic (?) rough look, and here we are: Lots of mistakes on the sewing, I need a better awl, I need more practice but I have learned loads and I love it! Only small regret is the brass button and metall D-rings. And I need to make a shoulderstrap and put in the last stitches.

Hi guys! I have cheap ebay awls, (as everything else) and one of them is diamond shaped, and I can switch the pointy end.. But, even the smalest of them are to big to make small ice holes for sadlestitching with thin thread. And I can't seem to find smaller in my go to norwegian webshops. Sooo, where can I find diamond shaped awls with small diameter ( for 0,6 thread).

Thank you soooo much guys! I'll have a look. I need to change a wheel and a new holder for the tread on top of the machine. Pressuere foot and needles are there :D

Yep, I know this is maskin is about as tvice my age, but I found it at a used sale today, and payd 50 nok for it. Witch is somewhere around 7 us dollars. I just had to have it. however, there is some small issues with it, and I wonder if anyone here can look at pictures and tell me what the pars are called and maybe help med fint where I can get them. I am planning on using it on soft goat leather. It should work on that? Right? If I can't get it to work, my kid loves it, and wants it for a toy. Just pictures to show witch model it is. I'll be very happy if anyone can help me

Hi there! I want to make some half choke collars, and insted of the metall chain I want to use paracord. The trouble is, I am green when it comes to knots. I need a secure knot to make a loop of the paracord attached to the ring for the leash hooks, and the paracord goind through the rings on the collar, making the half choke part. Some old (or young) scouts or sailers or something in here to give me some tips?

Work in progress - dog leash
Raksha replied to Raksha's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Do you know any online shop with world wide shipping I can get those? The leash was well recieved, but the shop manager would like a more "unike" hook. Soo, I am looking for more "unike" hooks! -
Doh... sometimes my brain just do not work I have horses, and therefor nylon halters. So I can just go fina a broken one and use the measuerments? How simple! What leather do you use?

Totaly OT but I love your dialekt! Have to concentrate to understand, but I love it

In a acute case of ... I don't know, stupid? I orderd too big hooks for dog leashes. And I need something to make use of them, and leather haltes for horses came to mind. I see that Tandy has a pattern pack for sale, is this any good? Or is there somwhere else I should look? Dobble sew 3,5 mm leather will hold? Or?
