Members Prusty Posted October 29, 2017 Members Report 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
Members kiwican Posted October 29, 2017 Members Report Posted October 29, 2017 Very nice. How does the case close? Quote
Members Prusty Posted October 29, 2017 Author Members Report 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
Members SunLynx Posted October 29, 2017 Members Report Posted October 29, 2017 I don't suppose there's a pattern for that case? Quote
Members MichaelT Posted October 30, 2017 Members Report 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
Members zuludog Posted October 30, 2017 Members Report 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
Members lonesome dove Posted November 3, 2017 Members Report Posted November 3, 2017 Excellent work. Stitching is fabulous! Quote

Only in my head I’m afraid, but it’s a fairly simple design. 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! Can you share some details, like leather weight and stitch length? What are the dimensions and a picture of the buttt stitching? Stitch length is 4mm, so fairly standard. Not sure of the weight conversion but it’s 1.2mm calfskin.
