April Keep Making Stuff Challenge

My version of the coin purse. I like seeing all the different interpretations. It is inspiring. Looking forward to Friday for next month's challenge.

I haven't had much time... I didn't quite finish and it's sloppy due to rushing. I'll post a photo. I'll also post May's challenge in a little while.

Its not over until midnight right? used w/c latigo, kept it simple as possible since i started yesterday afternoon and sewed it prior to going to work this morning.

Nice Cardinal. Your curve cuts look really tight. I made the mistake of using an Exacto and it flexes so the curved part ends up slanted. Anyone else have suggestions or hints on cutting curves?

i used a pair of serated sissiors from Tandy. One tool that was worth the 45.00 price tag. it will follow the pattern well but you have to guide it carefully as they will want to work into the curve and that will leave a flat spot.

So I'm a day late this month.Ran into some complications getting my sewing machine to work with my new 277 thread. This is only the second thing I have actually sewn other than test pieces. More practice is definitely required.

Wow that tooling looks awesome! What thickness of leather did you use?
