Members Camerius Posted June 1, 2014 Members Report Posted June 1, 2014 Tried my hands again on a bi-fold wallet with four card slots. This time I gave it a different shot and made it out of 1.2mm (2½ ounce) veg tanned leather, which was not a good idea as the leather was/is too pliable. My stitching is still quite bad, and needs way more practice. Hate to still be stuck at level suck but hope that it will change in time. Ah well, upwards and onwards. Quote
Members Haystacker Posted June 1, 2014 Members Report Posted June 1, 2014 I think you are higher than level suck. Looks good. Put it in service. Quote

Members Wishful Posted June 2, 2014 Members Report Posted June 2, 2014 That is how learning happens, practice, practice, practice. You're doing fine Quote
Members DavidL Posted June 2, 2014 Members Report Posted June 2, 2014 If you dont make mistakes you are not improving. I may have the same leather, top grade from SLC which is far too soft. Quote
Members Hi Im Joe Posted June 2, 2014 Members Report Posted June 2, 2014 Soft leather is definitely a challenge to work with. But it isn't impossible! You just have to really pay attention and adjust your methods. You can't tension the thread nearly as much with soft temper leather. You have to really hit that butter zone! Quote
Members Camerius Posted June 5, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks again, guys. Quote
