Sasse Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Blea Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
