Fathers Son Report post Posted November 15, 2009 dscott- Looks nice. You might consider on future ones to continue the stiching onto the strap. Fathers Son Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinhopkins Report post Posted November 15, 2009 Hi... it's really nice... But I think I'd line the whole thing... And I'll tell you a trick... take a pc of manilla folder about 1" to 1 1/4" wide, and the same height of the folder. Gently form it around a broom handle, and glue it to the center of the back of the folder. then glue your lining right over the top of it. You'll be amazed at how it makes the finished product look. You can use 2 layers of the stuff if you need, but it will firm it up quite a bit.... Keep up the good work! Kevin Hopkins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted November 15, 2009 Nice work David!!! Stitching seem good but hard to get a close detailed view of it. It's a good practice you had with this book and with next one you will see that you have learned tons of stuff. Liner will make it look excellent and enhance the overall apperance.
