Abelc Report post Posted March 15, 2022 In may i did this, for a friend, for her birthday, From a pattern i bought. It was my second thing done in Leather. Dyed with Fiebing's Light tan (i think) (50/50 with denatured alcohol). Used Antique over the Artes. Belenos and Xana (Friends name). Finished with 3 coats of resolene 50/50, i think. Used tokonole, and quite a bit of edge sanding for edges. Also applied tokonole in the flesh, inside, after dyeing, doing letters, antique etc, i think. The stiching and edges could be better, but well, it is my second project , i think its great for a novice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlamoJoe2002 Report post Posted April 20, 2022 Nice start. Looks like my first trys at stitching. I went and bought a set of 3mm or 4mm stiching irons. And started practicing. I see you have a stitching pony? A definite must for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJole Report post Posted April 20, 2022 Nice work for an early project! The blue stone laced in is a great personal touch. I think the leather you used for this project was too thick-- hard to make sharp bends and good stitching holes in that thickness. Learning to skive is an important skill, too.
