Also decided to do a stiffener and lining on the inside, made from thin kitchen cutting mat. The lining material is some bonded Burberry cotton canvas I had left over from another project. Now, just need to stitch the zip in Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted September 2, 2017 Members Report Posted September 2, 2017 Awesome! It looks killer! Looking at that color, I think if you were able to pipe the sides instead of a lap seam, and the bottom like it is, in a contrasting blue color it would just pop. That's just a thought for another project, but what you have looks super cool! Quote

Members GunnyStewart Posted September 3, 2017 Members Report Posted September 3, 2017 Very nice. Are you hand sewing for a specific reason? What size (MM) is your pricking iron and thread? Quote

Yes, the main reason being I don't have a suitable sewing machine for this work (although I do for garment sewing), and also because I really enjoy the 'zen' of hand stitching. I'm using 0.6mm tiger thread, with size 004 needles, and about 8-9 spi (will have to check the exact mm size of my pricking iron). I have used 0.8mm tiger thread with 002 needles with the same pricking iron on another project, but for aesthetics I prefer the thinner thread on this one. Quote
