Members craftsman827 Posted July 31, 2008 Members Report Posted July 31, 2008 Here is my latest project. It's a portfolio kit from Tandy. Only thing, I added a handle. The wife said, I should have stiched the handle with brown thread. As I look at the finished case, I think she was right. Which I can always re-stitch the handle. Let me know what yall think. PS I didn't antique it , YET, maby I should just leave it. Quote
Members TerryE Posted July 31, 2008 Members Report Posted July 31, 2008 in my opinion the white thread looks fine. Terry Quote
Members TroyS Posted July 31, 2008 Members Report Posted July 31, 2008 I agree with Terry. The white thread looks fine and with time, will change colors due to dirt and oils from your hands. I'd say leave like it is and start your next project! Oh, by the way, the rest of the case looks awesome too! Quote Troy

TomSwede Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 That is a gorgeous portfolio! What white thread? Antique it if you get the urge for it but I think it looks great as it is.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted August 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted August 1, 2008 Very nice work! I also agree that you should leave the thread the way it is. Certainly don't undo it. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade." "Teach what you know......Learn what you don't."

TomSwede Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Tom, The little bit of white thread, used on the handle. Ah now I see it! I got so taken by the nice floral that I probably forgot to look for it, well so will probably most people do.
