ETW Grumpy Report post Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) I am fairly new to leatherwork, having been at it for about 6 or 7 months. I don't remember how I found this forum, but I'm glad I did. I hope to be of some help when I can. I have been doing mostly smaller items like cell phone cases and wallets, but plan on doing some toolbags and a seat soon. I attached a picture of a wallet that I did a while back. Hope I did it right. Edited March 10, 2007 by ETW Grumpy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pepin1948 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 I wanted to add in my post (couldn't edit it anymore) that I'd never thought of using rivets that way - did you see it mentioned on a pattern/in a book, or was that something you came up with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ETW Grumpy Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Actually I saw someone else using them as reinforcement at stress points and it just made sense. Most of the jeans companies use them that way. Since the pockets are pretty thin, I thought I'd better do something to keep from ripping them out. Thanks for the kind words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
