I did not bother posting a pic of my first effort, it was really bad. One of my goals was to improve on my stitch. As hard as I tried to control my stitch in order for some consistency I just did not accomplish my goal. I have a couple of KS Pricking Irons headed my way and will be getting away from the straight stitch. I could have easily purchased a really nice holster and belt but there is something to be said for doing your own. What I have learned is that I have much to learn and I truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge and information that can be found here.
