MonicaJacobson Report post Posted May 27, 2014 Haven't really made anything worth posting in the last two months, so I thought I'd just post them in a batch to make it more interesting. I made two more mandolin bags, but unfortunately I messed with the dimensions, and I don't like how they went together as much as the first one I made. But still, they're nice. Just not as nice. I also revisited one of my first bags. I've felt that I made a mistake in not adding support loops for the handles, and finally ended up taking all the stitching out, adding loops, and stitching it back up again. Lastly, a journal for a gift, a mandolin strap for someone, and I threw together a flash case in one afternoon. Since I cut corners it looks like I cut corners. However, we had it when we needed it, which is worth something. Now I need to add a strap to my camera bag so I can hook it directly onto the camera bag, rather than onto a belt.

CTaylorJr Report post Posted June 1, 2014 All of the work is very nice. I love the scale pattern on the 2nd bag. Did you carve the scales and then bevel? Looks very good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks! Yes, I carved and then beveled the scales. Now that I am a little better informed about casing, I wonder if it could have looked a great deal better. I guess I'll find out next time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
