Crit my Stich

[Boicie]

This is the first thing I'm actually proud of so please crit my stitching.

Its based off a Creative Awl pattern and yes, I did punch holes for but didn't put a flap on the front pouch. I'm going to remake this slighly longer so it will take a tablet but broadly the same size and with a large flap over the top.

Leather is Crazy Horse from AusTanners in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. I understand they mostly use Aussie hides.

Please be construtive as I've not had an actual teacher; I've gotten this far by trial and error. Thanks

I think it's quite nice.  One thing I always had trouble with was consistent pressure in the stitches. You seem to have mastered this. Well done!

Thanks

I didn't use a stitching pony, because I'm tall and... fat... so the one I've got meant I kept stabbing my thigh. All I did was pull the stichtes through and then make sure I pulled the same tension on both sides.

I think it looks pretty impressive.  Like Hags mentioned you seem to be fairly consistent in your stitching.  I do see one out-of-line stitch on the left side of the pocket, but most of my projects probably have at least one of those.  In all I would say it's a good job.

Instead of putting the stitching pony in my lap, I will clamp it down to my workbench or desk.  Works well that way.  Nice job .
