Trying to teach myself saddle stitching, and hubby had requested a small case to hold apple headphones and a charger, so figured I'd practice my stitching while making something. First item I've hand-stitched, used Tiger 0.8mm orange thread, size 4 needles, 8 spi. In hindsight, might have gone 0.6mm thread, but of course, had none handy in orange. Leather is some Horween tumbled scrap (thanks @nstarleather!), with a basic dressmaking polyester zip I had lying around.

That's fantastic! I'm ready to do some items like that...without the zipper. Baby steps.

So much leather...so little time.

Thanks, mattsbagger and alpha2! Agreed on the zipper, there were some cuss words flying around as I tried gluing it in place.

Really nice job on your stitching!

Great job on the stitching. Looks like you got it.

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.
