@YinTx As always visually appealing, wonderful execution, just great work. How many SPI for the belt. I always admire your stitching ability. Thank you for sharing.

Yep, that is what I want mine to look like. I have a blank dyed and lined, just need to sew the liner and add buckle, etc. It's my first belt and I am intimidated like crazy.

Both look fantastic. I need a new wallet, wish I could make one of this quality...

Dave, Thanks!  I have about a dozen wallets that don't look nearly so good leading up to this....so I have a lot to choose from for my daily carry.  Just pull one from the scrap bin!  :wacko:

Appreciate it.  The belt was 8 SPI, the wallet was 9spi, both with 25/3 linen.

Stitch up a couple of practice bits, then go to town on it!  Your stitching seems decent enough to give it a go.  I let things intimidate me as well, it slows me down a lot when it probably shouldn't.  I have some things to make from Barenia, took me almost 2 weeks to get the courage to cut out a couple of bits yesterday.  And if you want any advice on a buckle, don't bother with nickel plated anything.  I made a lot of belts from some $8 Tandy nickel plated buckles, only to have the plating wear off in less than a year.  Got to redo some belts for folks for free thanks to that.  Now I only use solid stainless steel like this one, or solid brass, and the jury is still out on the solid brass finish.  Sad when the buckle doesn't make it a year.

I have two different nickel plated Tandy buckles and "needed" some more pricking irons the other day and tossed a stainless buckle in my cart for the free shipping, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

I've also been working on my stitching and have improved it a ton. Its just nerve wracking and I need to just do it.
