New projects

[LeatherLegion]

I made the smaller pouch as a trial yesterday ...all hand stitched...and today i made the larger one as a hip/belt or shoulder  bag fort my wallet ,phone and keys . The larger bag was machined stitched  with #138 thread on my CB 4500. The smaller one was meant as a coin or card/cash colder. I used a cheap 4mm set of pricking irons ($20) and #138 bonded nylon thread that i am using in my sewing machines.

Any comments are more then welcome

Thank you !

Looks good but why the hand stitch on the small one? How does the large bag attach to belt loops or ????Love the buckle on the belt.

I am trying to start hand stitching most of my products from now on and i am practicing every time i have a chance on small items. I am waiting on a set of Wuta irons in 3.85mm as the cheap ones i have tend to break the leather a bit

The larger bag has 2 rings  on the upper corners to attach a strap ...or attach it to 2 belt loops... I am working on the belt lops 

Here is a better picture of the buckle you liked

Interesting design

One thing I'd do is to end the cut line of the front panel with a cricular hole, to reduce strain on that part

OK. I would find it difficult to see how the sale value would return the effort but if your getting the work enough that's all that matters in the end. Have you tried Schmetz LR needles in the 4500? You can get a heavy left right saddle look if that's what your chasing. Thanks for the better buckle picture. I think it would look nice with croc except I'd have to change the tongue for a rounded shape one.The flat ones are murder on the holes and the last thing I like is getting a belt back to be fixed up.
