Ambassador pete Posted October 19, 2017 Ambassador Report Posted October 19, 2017 If the scribed lines are your fold lines- I GUARANTEE that the pouch is going to be way too small. You need to consider the thickness of the leather and allow for it when marking your folds. Make the fold lines/cuts outside of the actual width of the piece by the thickness of the leather. 1/8 leather- the fold is 1/8 outside of the actual edge. You LOOK as though you are measuring the leather to actually fold up at the edge of the box. Quote

I didn't see it addressed in the video. Do you punch the stitch holes through the cloth zipper lining edge(or use the stitching awl to pierce) after gluing it to leather, or do you punch the stitch holes in the leather first and just let the needle be the only thing that pierces the zipper material?

Members billybopp Posted October 20, 2017 Members Report Posted October 20, 2017 Zip material is pretty sturdy. I use the awl. Bill Quote
