Members Pause Posted December 13, 2017 Members Report Posted December 13, 2017 Hello again. I live in Northern VT. Formerly on the forum as Possum Breath. I am involved in wildlife rehabilitation and we happened to have a Possum when I signed up last time. Sold a house, moved and had email address change and had to sign up as new member, screen name Pause. Why Pause? I am a mediator and it is the word I mutter to myself as a reminder. Helps too when I mess up a stitch. I am almost done with my first messenger bag, a copy of the US Postal Satchel. I was reminded that hand stitching competence is a journey, snaps and rivets can be harder than they look to install and sometimes glue sets up faster than the label promises. I am also using a Juki-562 which I use to sew some leather and waxed cotton bags. Next project, a second postal bag to correct the things I learned about with the first. Quote

bikermutt07 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 Welcome back. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
