Members Grey Drakkon Posted February 11, 2018 Members Report Posted February 11, 2018 Ok so I spent way too long hand sewing this thing, mostly due to the straps. I'm pretty happy with how it came out though! The leather is a really soft strong navy blue, and the interior is cotton. I'm rather pleased with how well I lined up the pockets, I used up just about all of the fabric I had in this pattern for it. Quote "Everyone with telekinesis, raise my hand!" -Repairman Jack

bikermutt07 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Really nice job. 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.

Thin thread though so it looks fine than it actually is. 4 hours ago, DV8DUG said: That's alot of hand stitching... I love the little pocket on the inside. There's actually 3! The two are made of a bit of fabric that lines up perfectly with the background. 3 hours ago, bikermutt07 said: Really nice job. Thanks!

Members kiwican Posted February 12, 2018 Members Report Posted February 12, 2018 Thats a Great Job Grey! I was in store the other day and saw a yellow one of those bags, not as nice as yours at all. The price on the bag was over 1000.00 Quote

Members GrampaJoel Posted February 13, 2018 Members Report Posted February 13, 2018 Very nice! It seems very simple in appearance, but I can't see how you put it together. Would you care to share your build method? thanks Joel Quote
Members JMixx Posted February 14, 2018 Members Report Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Wow! That's lovely. With all the detail, I'm guessing you put in quite a few hours there. Edited February 14, 2018 by JMixx Quote Making some progress... "Happiness hoarded is diminished."

Would you care to share your build method? thanks Joel Actually I nabbed it from a pdf on these forums! The pattern was NOT intuitive for me at all, at one point I was baffled how it would actually end up working, but I just kept doing what it told me to do and it hit that click point where you go "Oooooh THAT'S how that works." I did modify the pattern to make a shoulder strap instead of a wrist strap though. On 2/13/2018 at 8:25 PM, JMixx said: Wow! That's lovely.
