Getting Better At This... :-)

Recommended Posts

Hi. Did up this purse recently for a friend. It turned out alright I think, but feel free to critique. Thanks, Clark

The only thing I can see needing improvement, is you need to pull the lacing on the bottom tighter. I find the best thing to do, is pull it as tight as you possibly can - preferable with a set of smooth jaw needle nose pliers, then let it sit for a few days before tightening it again. You'll find the lace stretches over time.

Other than that, the tooling and overall work looks good!

Ah yes, I see that now. I think my fingers were feeling quite raw when I finished the lacing, so much so that I didn't feel much like going back there...but I should have. Thanks for that input.
