Rohn Report post Posted October 30, 2014 That is really bright!! How big is it? What does it look like on the inside. Handle and latch both look good and the stitching is nice and even. Is it hand stitched or did you use a machine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanPutter Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Rohn, Bright indeed...It is approximately 17in diagonally from corner to corner. This was actually the first case I made so it can certainly be better. I hand stitch all my work, maybe one day I will be able to afford a machine! The inside was lined, have a look below.

Rohn Report post Posted October 30, 2014 I am a holster maker and hand stitch or lace all my holsters but am hoping to get a machine sometime in the near future. I think you did a really good job on the case. I would like to make one sometime but I am quite busy with holsters at the present. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Very, very nice! How did you attach the lining? I'd love to see some pictures of the lining, edge, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Blea Report post Posted October 31, 2014 I'm impressed. It looks great and your hand stitching looks very even. I'd like to know how you attach the lining too. I'd like to work up to making something like this someday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanPutter Report post Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks. Monica and Bob I will try and find some images of the lining attachment. It was actually relatively simple, make sure you have an excess of the lining material, fold it over right at the edge and stitch in place with the leather. The important thing is to use an adhesive that will permanently fix that lining; once it comes loose it is very difficult to make it look good again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill46 Report post Posted November 4, 2014 Van ----------------- I like this Document Case because of its simplicity, Bright yes, but, this along with your clean stitching is the charicter of the case. Really great effort. ------ Wild Bill46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
