So I made a thing. For another thing.

Dyeing, stitching, edges - all sumptuously!

very nice, since my stitching has a long way to go I like to see examples like this to inspire me to practice.

Mike, may I inquire, what method do you use to ensure that the holes for the thread are dyed?

Edges still need work, but I wanted to catch the light for a pic.  They'll be smoother when I'm done.

Thank you.

 I dye after I stitch in most cases so if there are any areas that need touch up they get attention during the dye process.  If I do happen to stitch after color, I poke tiny holes, so the stitching takes up the opening.  If I have to touch up afterward, I do it with a small paint brush.

Thanks for the answer, Mike!

What are those screws called? I'm familiar with Chicago screws, but have never seen them with recessed heads before.

 

Very nice work!

That is beautiful.  I would carry that along with what I all ready carry.
