From the workbench today, a simple kangaroo leather cardslot.

Made from vegetable tanned kangaroo, and saddle stitched in 0.6mm white braided polyester thread.

These card slots are perfect for the train pass or work access card.

Nice, simple and gets the job done. I wish we had more access to 'Roo here in the States. That looks like larger than .6mm thread. Must be the closeup shot.

Thanks mate,

It's a good material, firmer than something like goat which makes it a bit easier to work with in some ways (and harder in others). Just got to stop it hopping away from you in between processes. :P

Yeah it is Lekoza slam thread, and hammered down which flattened it out a bit. Pity they aren't making the stuff anymore, it's my favourite thread... though haven't tried tiger yet.

Actually you know... that could be 0.8... have to find my invoice to check.

Thanks @Prusty

My stitching was pretty woeful before, but it's getting better :)

Lots of patience, more practice, and a good set of pricking irons.
