Members billium Posted June 1, 2015 Author Members Report Posted June 1, 2015 Hi all, thanks for the feedback and support! I just added a new pattern to my Etsy site for an axe head cover with belt loop. willspatterns.etsy.com New member Aflian, I really liked your post. I'm also a huge fan of beer, and biking to breweries sounds awesome. That was part of my inspiration for making the growler pattern. In response to your post, I think the growler is a great first project, and it shouldn't be too difficult. The pattern includes full instructions and templates. It's mostly just trace and cut 4mm thick leather and use the template to mark rivets and snaps. Making stitching holes and hand-sewing gets better with practice. The optional handle is probably the hardest part because you have to wet-mold thinner vegetable-tanned leather around a core. And I think we all totally get your "perfectionist complex" when you share your leather project with someone in public! If you really want to start on something smaller I just posted the above axe-head cover on my Etsy site which is easier. There are also some really nice patterns on this forum. Quote

Members Sven WillIBeFamous Posted August 17, 2016 Members Report Posted August 17, 2016 Hi, I picked up your Growler pattern yesterday as a few friends are asking for me to make one for them and I'm looking forward to getting to grips with this. A couple of questions though: In the PDF that I originally downloaded it says that there will be some detailed instructions to follow, but I haven't had these sent to me. You also say that you use a Ladder stitch, but I've never seen this done before so wondering if you can point me in the right direction, or if the detailed instructions will include this? Quote
