Members Olemanjake Posted March 7, 2013 Members Report Posted March 7, 2013 I would like nothing better than to post pictures. However, ran into some complications with my wallet: some I figured a way to overcome...but the main problem was the pre-cut materials weren't properly sized to fit. This prompted a solution for me: No more pre-cut/holed patterns Get more tools Get some more leather These will be accomplished tomorrow. I intend to have a decent product by the end of the weekend. This was definitely a learning experience, though. As I was stitching it together I learned to properly stitch...the importance of good needles (the two I was using broke so I switched over to sewing needles which was a bad idea due to the size of the eyelets)....then the stitching material snapped (twice!)...so I learned how to cover that up...then realized I didn't have any burnishing materials handy... Yeah. It was a learning experience for sure! Quote
