Pip Report post Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Here is my latest project, worked with a few scrap bits i had from other projects. It was made for a lady who runs a local craft shop that sells my bracelets. Its my second proper stitching project. She was well pleased with it.... I am happy(ish) with it too. I need more practice with the material lining, I made a bit of a mess of it. I was intending to put an edging around the seams a la Kevin kings magnificent wallets but.... time, patience, and lack of experience conspired against me and i dropped the idea. What you can't see is that the purse has and expanding gusset between the front and back peices, in the rust/purple suede that is on the opening edge, inside the flap acting to protect the edge from wear as the hand goes in and out. I am interested in knowing what you all think! I was between posting here and the critique section, but i am quite pleased with it so posted here! Please feel free to critique, any helpful stuff readily and eagerly received. Thanks. Edited March 1, 2008 by Pip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oscar B Report post Posted March 1, 2008 That is nice work Pip. We all develop our own style as time goes by. I am not sure but KK probable uses thin leather for the binding. Just keep up the good work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider Report post Posted March 2, 2008 Pip, I love the look of this wallet. The lining is cool and the outter design is cool too. A rotary knife will clean up those edges but other than that I looks very nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
