Members SUP Posted 23 hours ago Members Report Posted 23 hours ago I found this pattern online and would like to learn how to do the pattern on the front flap. What type of weaving is it? I would appreciate any information. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members Dwight Posted 22 hours ago Members Report Posted 22 hours ago (edited) It is actually not weaving . . . there is a piece of leather over the front cover. . . with edge stitching The exterior layer of the front cover has a series of round holes making up the center of the design . . . and an off spaced set of slits . . . the leather comes up out of the center . . . over to the edge slit . . . back to the center . . . etc . . . until it is all done. The place where the little concho is . . . has a filler under it . . . and the leather strips just go in and out the same type holes on the edge of it. Actually a rather unique design . . . have never seen that before. After it was all done . . . I would think he probably made some kind of press mold that would allow it to be thoroughly wetted . . . and the press mold laid on top of it . . . let it dry . . . to get the depth around those stitches . . . and then contact cemented to the actual flap of the purse. Personally . . . I like it . . . but it is certainly one long piece of work. May God bless, Dwight Edited 22 hours ago by Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members SUP Posted 22 hours ago Author Members Report Posted 22 hours ago Thank you @Dwight for taking the time to explain how it was done. 😃 Now that you describe it, I can see how it was done that way. Like you say, a lot of work but it looks beautiful. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members TomE Posted 18 hours ago Members Report Posted 18 hours ago I think you could adapt the method for laced reins to make this pattern. Would decrease the spacing between holes and perhaps use a lacing chisel (or a sharpened screwdriver), instead of a round hole punch, on the outer holes of the pattern. This would help to keep the lace lying flat. I'd make lace out of the leather of your choice, about 1/8" wide of 5 oz thickness. I would use bridle leather for some stiffness and tap it with a polished hammer to set the shape. Here's how laced reins are laced: Quote

I might try it on a sword/axe hangar Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members SUP Posted 14 hours ago Author Members Report Posted 14 hours ago That looks easier than I expected! I should be able to make that. Maybe a dog collar itself for my Poochie as I learn how to lace like that. Thanks @TomE Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members dikman Posted 13 hours ago Members Report Posted 13 hours ago That was doing my head in trying to figure it out until it suddenly clicked into place. Simple but very effective.
