I just joined this group on the 15th of Jan and I am just finding this post now but I am going to try to get a project in this month anyway. Nothing like a little added pressure.

Thanks,

Tom Hodder

I don't know why my pictures are sideways and upsidedown.

Impressive work so far everyone. I like how the simple variations in this pattern create a complete different look, not to mention the choice in materials.

I have to say you lit a fire under me with this idea so I will be joining this months project with pictures very soon. Good luck to all and keep up the good work.

This was a fun project and really consumed all my free time since Monday when I decided to take up the challenge. I had ideas of a far more intricate and expansive Yggdrasil, but limited myself on account of time. The inside is calfskin, and pigskin, and the sewing is braided spectra, compliments to my archery endeavours.

First time using a template and I found it very straightforward and enjoyable. I modified the pockets and realized it would create a gap along the seam, but decided I would try it and see if it didn't make it look a little more different than the rest.

Here is my finished "Project of the Month". Enjoyed making it very much. Learned a few things. Personalized it a little. Managed to get some black stain on the sting ray inlay somehow. Kinda disappointed with that, otherwise fairly happy with the end product.

I am what I am, but I ain't what I used to be.

Finally finished the 1st project. I have made mine slightly smaller so as to take UK notes and also I have only put 3 cards either side. I used 5mm english bridle leather which I skived down by hand to 3mm for the outside which I then lined with doe skin and then skived that down along the edges of were the pockets where to go.

I used 2mm case leather for the rest. It is stitched with 4 cord 18 black linen thread. I made all the pieces slightly larger than my templates glued and stitched them together then trimmed off the excess at the end as close to the stitch line as I could get. I just used warm water and a flat bone to do the edges. Could have been a bit thinner but I am happy with it.
