Members eglideride Posted July 10, 2013 Members Report Posted July 10, 2013 Very Cool! Hand sewn?? How did you do the edges?? DJ Quote
Members malabar Posted July 12, 2013 Members Report Posted July 12, 2013 Would love see to see more info on how you made it. tk Quote
Members Mijo Posted July 12, 2013 Members Report Posted July 12, 2013 Looks good, how did you finish your edges? I like your pictures too. Quote
Members rirakuma Posted July 13, 2013 Author Members Report Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks guys! First I used an edge beveller then sanded the edges down including some parts of the bevelled areas. After that I dabbed some water on it with my hands and just used my edge roller to get it nice and smooth. At the end I used a sponge to apply some obenaufs LP around the edges, I don't actually know if that makes any difference but I thought it might help with the aging process. DJ, the wallet is saddle stitched. Tk, sorry I'm not very good with tutorials but if you're attempting a similar wallet let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help . Quote
