BobW Report post Posted March 6, 2013 Here are the first and second pieces I have made. The cell phone sleeve is for my RAZR M with an Otterbox Defender case. The card case is finished natural with brown pig skin lining. Both are made from ~4 oz veg tan leather and white waxed thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mijo Report post Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) While I'm not a fan of that style cell case or card case, your work looks pretty solid. The cell case looks like it fits like a glove and your stitching appears very uniform. I wish my first and second projects turned out that well, good job on both and welcome.

It looks wet molded, but did you use a bone folder or did you make a custom "press" from wood? What dye did you use? Beautiful work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wrapped the phone in cellophane and then worked the wet leather with my fingers and a cheap Tandy plastic bone folder. The dye is Tandy Cordovan, also the cheap stuff.
