garypl Posted May 6, 2018 Report Posted May 6, 2018 Finished a beer growler caddy for my nephew. 4-5 oz vegtan and trim and handle are made from a piece of upholstery hide. Quote

Members kiwican Posted May 6, 2018 Members Report Posted May 6, 2018 I like the trim. Nice touch Quote
garypl Posted May 6, 2018 Author Report Posted May 6, 2018 Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I want to keep tweaking the design to improve it and get to the point where I can maybe sell some at the local growler stores around here. Gary Quote
Members kiwican Posted May 6, 2018 Members Report Posted May 6, 2018 How did you do the seam of the body. Quote

Expand It’s just overlapped and glued, with the outer trim strip going up over the seam for extra reinforcement. The top and bottom trim strips reinforce the top and bottom edges. This is the first time I have not sewn the side seam, so I am curious if it will hold up as well as the ones I sewed. I think it will, but my nephew will test it for me and report back how well it withstands usage! Gary Quote
Members kiwican Posted May 6, 2018 Members Report Posted May 6, 2018 Nice. I'l be interested to hear how that goes! Quote
