    use a resist in the areas you dont want the dye. I use eco sheeen it is a finish for leather work once it is on no dyes will absorb.

    it looks like he airbrushed his weathered look on. Very cool project! if you don't have an air brush maybe some light washes of transparent acrylic paints to achieve the effect.

    o take the number of holes in the bottom and divide the circumference at the stitch line of the outer piece by that number. That will give you the space between each stitch. Example 10 holes in bottom, outer circumference is 20 cm =20 cm / 10 holes in the bottom piece = 2cm between each outer stitch.

    i use an awl to make the second hole. example i use a chisel for the holes on the bottom round then use my eye and my awl for the other side. spacing them farther out as needed. do you have a round form or something to put inside the object to hold the shape while sewing?

    There are some variables to the 'period' southern Cali or northern? What years ? after 1849 gold rush days or before which would be more Spanish influence. Southern Cali in the early 1800s would have had mostly Spanish influence while after the gold rush of 49 and farther north trends would have been more European influence.
