Members AdamPCain Posted December 27, 2017 Members Report Posted December 27, 2017 I haven't made anything in a while and never real post much so here as a small leather clutch I made over the holidays. Still learning everyday and getting better at stitching going to be buying a industrial machine soon. I love the hand stitching for the strength and look but it's just so time consuming. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 Very clean. Is this oil tanned leather? 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.

I like trying small things since it doesn't use much leather up and don't get to mad if I mess it up. There have been plenty of time when I just started over on some projects. Quote
