Last Minute Christmas Gift

Recommended Posts

I woke up at 4am Christmas Eve morning with the horrible feeling I had forgotten someone's Christmas gift. After going through the pile of presents, I realized I hadn't made my daughters watchband as I had planned. By lunch time it was done and I could relax.

It is made with two layers 3-4oz veg tanned leather dyed black on the top and left natural on the bottom. The edges were left unfinished. I used red 1.0 Ritza thread. This band is a replacement for the band on her Ed Hardy watch that she absolutely loves. I re-used the buckle from the old band as it was still in perfect condition.

In order to get the stitching to "point" in opposite directions, I punched one side from the top and the other side from the bottom. I am fairly pleased with the way the stitching turned out. I am not so pleased with the stamped crosses. Oh well, she loves it and that's all that matters...I guess.
