Members calanneh Posted January 4, 2009 Members Report Posted January 4, 2009 I made a PSP case for my son's girlfriend as a late Christmas present. It is made from 10oz veg and lined with calfskin (maybe 1-2oz) and dyed inside and out. I tripleloop laced it with 3/32" Tejas black from Tandy. It didnt come out perfect but I am happy with it. I noticed I was off by one hole when lacing the sides in so it is slightly warped...LOL. And shortly after I started lacing I realized...THIS THING IS THIN....How am I goign to get my hand into the bottom and lace it as I go around? So I had to start and stop lacing in a few places to get the bottom laced up on both sides first and work my way up. It is also thinner than the lacing needles are long...so I had to stretch and pull in a few places as I laced. There is one place on the open pic that you can see the tie-in on two lacing areas just would not go together correctly. I will stitch the next one together, if I do one. I laced in different directions to try to give it a different look. It worked for the most part..... These "learning points" aside, I was happy with how it turned out (for a freebie). Molly loved it and is very proud to have it hanging from her belt. Let me know what yall think please. William Quote
Members SouthPaw Posted January 4, 2009 Members Report Posted January 4, 2009 looks great...even with the problems you had. im still a rookie so the only idea i have would be stich parts and add a decorative lacing some how on the outside Quote
