Project No.2 - Billfold

[uberyk]

Made this over the weekend as a gift for my father in law.

Wife reminded me that he not so secretly loves flashy and quirky stuff hence the "unique" color/finish combinations.

Starting off with some Horween in Parisian Blue with green stitching, nothing too crazy:

But open it up and bam:

The crooked white stitching on the left pocket was my attempt at freehanding with the pricking iron.

Obviously not quite there with that.

Crazy color combos do make a pretty cool looking edge (hopefully it lasts and doesn't get all messy with usage):

Now I just need to hit it with some cleaner/conditioner and it should be good to go.

Next I'm going to try measuring out the pricking lines/hole locations on each layer independently to see if that gives me a cleaner stitch line on both sides.

Nice job.......I like the color combos.......Nothing better than making the FIL happy!
