Prusty Report post Posted October 29, 2017 Set of 13th-14th century stamps finally got delivered so tested them out making a needle case. Still need to become familiar with them and how best to use them, but not bad for a first design. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prusty Report post Posted October 29, 2017 The lid is a separate piece that slides up the thonging, and is held in place by friction with a inner liner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunLynx Report post Posted October 29, 2017 I don't suppose there's a pattern for that case? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelT Report post Posted October 30, 2017 That looks really great! Can you share some details, like leather weight and stitch length? What are the dimensions and a picture of the buttt stitching? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuludog Report post Posted October 30, 2017 Very nice & neat. Would have liked to see something to give the size or scale; a coin or a ruler or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two rectangles, one longer than the other, and two circular end pieces. The tooling is just whatever I can fit into the space On 30/10/2017 at 2:07 AM, MichaelT said: That looks really great!

Not sure of the weight conversion but it’s 1.2mm calfskin. On 30/10/2017 at 6:36 AM, zuludog said: Very nice & neat.
