Contributing Member fredk Posted October 23, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted October 23, 2018 Start using your stitching pony. It will seem awkward at first but it will help you to concentrate on getting your sewing done nicely. Your work is very much fine for a beginner. It is not as bad as you think it is Apologies folks, but I just gotta say; gengado's work and attitude is far superior to someone else who was doing 'rustic' leather work. by the way gengado, I have made belts, bags, purses, pouches, hats and more, but I have yet to do a wallet like the one you have made. Well done for making it Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members chrisash Posted October 23, 2018 Members Report Posted October 23, 2018 Cut 6 pieces of leather about one inch wide and six inches long, sew two of them together on day one, then another two on day two and the third pair of day three Now lay them out together and see how much your sewing improved in only three days, imaginme how it will look after a month Life is hard when you learn a new skill, but soon becomes natural and easier, apprenteiceships last normally three years so only 2 years 8 months to go Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me

Members gengado Posted October 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2018 I'm very happy with your advice Quote
bikermutt07 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 At four months I made a card holder that didn't fit cards, so you aren't doing as bad as I was. Keep at it. 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.

Contributing Member Ferg Posted October 23, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted October 23, 2018 GENGADO, I am right here!!!!! Your staining isn't bad. Practice different ways of application. If you don't have an airbrush you can use try different materials. Stitching is something that can go "wonkie" after doing it for years. Concentrate on your stitch line which I imagine you have free handed. A makeshift tool to mark that line before stitching will do wonders. I like your idea for the pocket shapes, they just need some refinement. Don't try to be too fancy with the shapes and cuts. Simple is beautiful also. Keep at it you are doing fine. Ferg Quote
