Members Halitech Posted September 13, 2014 Members Report 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
Members Rohn Posted September 13, 2014 Members Report 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
Members Halitech Posted September 14, 2014 Author Members Report 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
Members MonicaJacobson Posted September 14, 2014 Members Report 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
Members Halitech Posted September 14, 2014 Author Members Report 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
Members builderofstuff Posted September 14, 2014 Members Report Posted September 14, 2014 looks awesome Chris Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted September 14, 2014 Members Report 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
Members DoubleC Posted September 14, 2014 Members Report Posted September 14, 2014 Really pretty belt. Cheryl Quote
Members Halitech Posted September 14, 2014 Author Members Report Posted September 14, 2014 I have a payment coming in this week so I may go buy one, along with other things I don't really need lol Quote
Members Red Cent Posted September 14, 2014 Members Report Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice work. Quote
Members Grumpy Coyote Posted September 15, 2014 Members Report Posted September 15, 2014 Terrific. I've been playing with saddle stitch embroidery as decoration lately, and this is just great. Quote
Members Halitech Posted September 15, 2014 Author Members Report Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks, it does look great but man, does it take a lot of time Quote
