Members Danne Posted February 10, 2019 Members Report Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) This is the thinnest card case I've done. Pink chevre leather and stitched with lin thread.

Rockoboy Posted February 13, 2019 Report Posted February 13, 2019 Stitching looks great, edges look great, the textured finish of the leather looks great ... looks like a great job to me!

bikermutt07 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Perfect execution. 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.

Fully lined? What thickness did you use? Quote

I usually decide against fully lining pockets when using chevre. There are two reasons. 1. I don't own a splitter and I choose two weights (Company who split for me) 1mm and 0.5mm, and I prefer overlapping T-pockets (ears overlap) over full square pockets since it gives me a perfectly uniform edge. If I did use 0.5+0.5mm I wouldn't be able to split the edges so much (the outlines of the pocket would be visible) If I own a splitter I would probably do a pocket in 0.7mm and skive edges and line with 0.2-0.3mm The second reason is that Chevre sully have very nice and uniform flesh, with some Tokonole it's completely flat. Everything is 0.5mm except pockets which are 0.9-1.0mm Quote
