Members Sledzep01 Posted December 26, 2017 Members Report Posted December 26, 2017 These are the first 2 things I made. Sorry the one is already filled before I took a pic. The Haversack. First off I DID NOT sew that seam along the front. The leather is from an old couch. All Glued and then riveted with copper rivets. The top is reinforced to help keep its shape. It also has a small pocket near the top inside. If you have ever seen a still pic of a giant bolt of lightning you have seen my stitching!! so far. That's why there is none here. Besides I LOVE the Copper Rivets Quote Remember, Whether you think you can, or think you can't. You're Right! Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.

Members DJole Posted December 26, 2017 Members Report Posted December 26, 2017 Well, that's a nice use of an old couch! It's certainly a quirky piece! Yes, you really do seem to love those copper rivets! That bag won't be passing silently through any metal detectors! ;-) (did you know those rivets come in brass, too? and other colors of metal?)

bikermutt07 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Posted December 26, 2017 Way to up cycle!!! 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.
