Halitech Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Saw this style in another thread and decided to try my hand at it. Made from 7-8oz veg tanned and lined with glazed pig skin. All hand sewn and I am really glad I didn't make it big enough to fit me lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rohn Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Wow! That is a LOT of hand stitching. I'll bet your hands were complaining about that by the time you were done. Excellent job! Looks very nice indeed!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks Rohn and yeah, by my calculation, roughly 120" worth of stitching done at 6spi. I did it over 3 days to keep my hands from cramping up too much at one time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice look! Now I want to make one. I prefer the end of the belt to be rounded, but that's just me.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks Monica. I went squared off just because I always have an issue cutting it rounded and I don't have a round strap cutter yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted September 14, 2014 LOL, me too, actually. 1 out of 2 of my ends are crooked. So yeah... I'm going to either cave and buy what I need, or make the curve I need in illustrator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy Coyote Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Terrific. I've been playing with saddle stitch embroidery as decoration lately, and this is just great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
