Members Sasse Posted August 24, 2015 Members Report Posted August 24, 2015 I made this notebook cover from a piece of ratty chrome tanned cowhide. It was harder to make than quality veg tan item. The leather was thick, yet stretchy, bumpy. I made a few mistakes but feel I learned from them. I dyed with EcoFlo Antique dye, punched round holes (bigger than I wanted) and used thread probably too small for the holes. I also pulled the thread too tight and the edge poofed out quite a bit. I pounded out the stitches a little bit. In the end it was very fun and I gifted it to a really rustic type of guy...He loved it! Quote
Members Bruce H Posted August 24, 2015 Members Report Posted August 24, 2015 I really like it...It has an aged look to it! I'm sure your friend loved it!!! Quote
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted August 25, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2015 I think you did a great job. That rustic style is very popular with many people out there, so for a first project I think you did good. Quote
