Albob Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I know it's not much but when I was starting out I loved when folks shared the simple patterns. It sure helped me learn as I went. These are made from small pieces I find in my scrap pile. I still can't use my sewing machine or draw flowers but I'm not giving up.... Anyway if you can use this simple business card pattern, feel free to use it anyway you like. Size shown is finished, I like to make these about 1/4' larger over all so I can trim to the stitch line and give myself a nice clean edge to burnish.

bikermutt07 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Members uncleSteve Posted March 29, 2017 Members Report Posted March 29, 2017 Fredo, Of topic, but I'm (veryyy) new to leathercrafts. Are there any groups in San Diego? I live in Escondido. I just started getting into making simple things with kits provided by HelpHealVets (healvets.org I believe). So far, leather crafting has been an enormous help for me to maintain focus and 'tune-out' from brain injury and post traumatic stress (sincerely yours, from the Marine Corps). Shoutout to Help Heal Veterans. Their staff has been awesome and send kits to thousands every year. If you guys ever want to help injured vets get involved in my new hobby, HHV does want volunteers in/around many VA hospitals. You can inquire on their website. Cheers, Steve Quote
Members ScouterSteve Posted June 20, 2017 Members Report Posted June 20, 2017 uncleSteve, thanks for the info about HelpHealVets... I'm glad to hear that the program has helped and I'll check it out. Even though you are a Marine , this retired 11 Bravo is glad to see that you back home. What kinds of items are you interested in making? Army Steve in Dallas Quote
