Frederiek Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Hi everyone, This case was made as a gift, when I made a picture it had already seen a couple of months use! First time I made something like this, quite happy how it turned out. Sewing was not the most easy job by the way Hope you like it! Hope I don't bore you with all my projects at one Frederiek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halitech Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Those look great. Just out of curiosity, what weight leather did you use? I just got 6 hand turned wooden pens from a guy in Aus and cases like these would be perfect to sell them in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frederiek Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Thank you all I used ~3,5-4 mm so that would be 9-10 oz. For the sides I used 2mm/5oz, thinned from a slightly thicker piece. You could use leather for the loop but I liked this elastic band I bought from a shoemaker supply store (general elastic band is not stiff enough).

Halitech Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for the info. It doesn't look like it's that thick and not sure I have any that heavy but will see what I can come up with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frederiek Report post Posted May 8, 2015 I am sure that thinner will also work very well, this is just what I had available Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted May 8, 2015 I have some 4-5 and 6-7 so will try that tonight and see how it turns out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAZZMAN Report post Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Hello Frederiek, i think this is a very nice project, i know what you mean about the stitching being difficult on small gussets , but you seem to have managed it ok in the end, keep on posting pictures of your work you will never bore me with them. Peace. Edited May 8, 2015 by JAZZMAN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
