Zapee Report post Posted January 19, 2016 Hello Dear Leatherworkers, I recently finished my first long wallet. I ruined everything on this project. For examples the stiches. I think the overall look is good but I learn again a lot. The next one will be better! The little birds are burned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tclaridge Report post Posted January 19, 2016 Funny that you feel you've "ruined everything"... I was just thinking "everything looks great." I know how frustrating it can be to see a result that wasn't what I was after (or a little slip of a knife or a crooked stitch line), but the finished project seems to come out fine. Anyway, I think yours looks great-- nice work, and it's cool to see birds on leather. Not something you see everyday! Tanner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craftsman Made Report post Posted January 19, 2016 I agree totally with what Tanner has just said. If that's "ruined work" I can't wait to see something from you that isn't!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Report post Posted February 26, 2016 Hahahah... normally, I'm a sucker for staring at the stitching to see if there is something I can learn from to improve my own work. This time, I was so entranced with the imagery in the leather that I didn't even realize it was stitched until I read the comments! Great work, and the stitching is pretty dang good too, so no frettin there! thanks for sharing! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
