Thanks for the critique!

:wavey: Thank you Crystal but I think he'd appreciate it more coming from you.

Nice work with that cap!

If you did one of the three cigar style holders it would show off your tooling better. They are actually pretty easy to make. sew a flat pouch and then wet form it around 3- 3/4 inch dowels for the inside and form the cover around a pine plug.

Thanks, Fishguy. I was just trying out construction ideas for this one. I saw that 3 cigar pattern in a LC&SJ issue. I have tried it twice - kind of. 1st time, stitched too far in and couldn't get 3 dowels in. 2nd time cut out the cover pieces and traced on my pattern - UPSIDE DOWN of course. Said some bad words - went back to it next evening and traced my pattern on the other cover piece and it was on UPSIDE DOWN. At least I have matching pieces now and patterns that say - TOP and BOTTOM. :crazy:

Thanks, Darryl!

Pens and pencils fit - stamping tools will fit - all kinds of other things to put in it.

Grow and paint my own nails - no manicures for this girl :) I won't touch dye without gloves. Biggest problem is nail marks in cased leather.

Crystal, great work on the pouch. I was digging in the drawers for something the other day and ran across hubby's dual cigar pouch and considered giving it a go. Running across your post just might be a sign! :)

What sized dowels are needed? What weight of leather would work well?

I was wondering about your nails leaving marks on

the wet leather when I thought she probably made

herself some soft deer skin finger thimbles. I guess

for the first time in my life I was wrong .....thanks. :head_hurts_kr:

P.S. I think it looks great.

Thanks, Shorts. I used a 7/8th's inch dowel for this and it is a snug fit. The leather was (I think) 3-4 oz. If I were to do this again I would use a 1" dowel and go with heavier leather just for the "crush factor". The light stuff is holding it's shape, but is easily squeezed out of shape. Can't wait to see yours!

Thanks, Windy. Hadn't thought about finger thimbles... the leather I have to work with at the moment - nail marks don't really matter that much. I think this cow was a blood donor at a mosquito farm in Alaska. :lol: I have thought about making pinky finger gloves for stitching, though.
