Hi, I’m only new to Leather craft. Your work looks amazing!  Your stitching is what I’m more interested in... do you sew your leather while it is cased too?

Thank you. Leather needs to be completely dry.

I will pick your brain, Ingle, a bit more concerning the dyeing technique...how would you modify your sequence if the customer requested contrasting stitching (white thread on tan, dark brown or black leather)? It seems to me that airbrush dyeing after the sewing and molding would work against that goal. Maybe you don't get many requests for such an item...or simply don't offer it as an option to simplify things for yourself...a lot of my customers ask for the option. 

Have a great day!

I do offer that, and up until recently I didn't have any issues. Not sure what changed,but I started getting uneven shades. I just recently started applying dye after molding after seeing some streaking. Still trying to pinpoint the actual cause, but it's fixed the problem temporarily. Before I started dyeing after molding...

I think I'll saturate as much as possible before stitching when I try this again.

Did someone mention Camp Lejeune and devil-dogs?  Ingle, are you stationed at Lejeune? 

Beautiful work, BTW.

I was at Lejeune (Lejeune, and Johnson) for 2 years and Cherry Point for two. Never got onto New River but drove past it a lot on the way to I-95.

Absolutely. That's black bonded nylon. 207 top and bottom with a 160/23 leather point needle.
