Finally Made Something Again

[bikermutt07]

Well after taking six months off from my hobby I have finally made something.

They aren't much to "show off" though.

These are simple coin purses from a Wuta pattern. Very simple construction and quick to bang out.

The burgundy ones are 4-5 horween horse butts and the brown ones are 2-3 horse fronts. I got both from Maverick. Hardware was Tandy clearance.

I did these for a church craft fair. They should last forever. I'm thinking ten bucks is reasonable. What do y'all think?

Anywho, enjoy.

Considering they're genuine handmade, and as you said they'll last forever - eight to ten bucks is a good price. I don't know how prices are down south, but in PA I would say eight bucks for plain (the way you have them) and then if you stamp the flap with something (nothing fancy, just a 3D or gem rivets or something) then ten.

Cool idea though.

Sounds good. I think that if they don't sell for ten, I'll let the ladies at church but them for 5. They will buy them for sure.

You shouldn’t leave it so long to work at your leather...

Great " bread and butter projects". Have you purchased from Maverick's Columbia Missouri location yet?

I haven't. I've got quite a variety of stuff on hand for my hobby level.

Ha! So true. I got turned off in the spring. I made a bad purchase on a Maker's Mark stamp. And then the guy wouldn't make it right. Then I had a wallet go to poop. And then, I was slammed for the summer with some super labor intensive stuff. It just kept me wore out.

Just a lot of things wore my inspiration down for a bit.

I have been looking at that Wuta pattern and my questions just got answered. Normally  I do my own patterns but no need to reinvent the wheel...

Very nice work too. I particularly noted the corner rounding of the flap. Difficult to do by hand (at least for me).

That would be the Knipknife in action. I love my French model.

Thanks. I did make a simple belt during the holiday. Just a single layer of 7-8 oz. 

Nothing to write home about. It had a few issues.
