Members 9tpi Posted September 24, 2015 Members Report Posted September 24, 2015 Hello Everyone, This is the first time ( i think) posting any of my work on the forum, though i have been lurking for a few years. Hand sewn using linen thread with a 9 tpi iron (8 spi i guess) with a "saddle stitch" technique. Handles, lining, and zipper next. Thanks for looking Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn

MikeG Posted September 24, 2015 Report Posted September 24, 2015 That's a lot of hand sewing. Your attention to detail - burnished edges, excellent straight stitching - is to be admired, as is the duffel. I hope to see more of your work! Quote

Members thefanninator Posted September 24, 2015 Members Report Posted September 24, 2015 What color is that Essex? I've used some black Essex I got from Maverick but this looks nicer. Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/
Members grmnsplx Posted September 25, 2015 Members Report Posted September 25, 2015 I am very curious about making the interior. how does one ensure it's not too big or too small? Quote

Members 9tpi Posted September 25, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2015 What color is that Essex? I've used some black Essex I got from Maverick but this looks nicer. It's what maverick called "Whiskey Jack". Similar to Horween's first quality Cognac brown. I am very curious about making the interior. how does one ensure it's not too big or too small? Good question, this is my first lined bag so I'll let you know what I do... Once I do it 😜 Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn

Members MonicaJacobson Posted September 25, 2015 Members Report Posted September 25, 2015 Wow, that is a sweet bag. Like everyone else said, I'll be interested to see what you do for lining, once it's finished. One of the coolest things I've seen.
