garypl Posted April 10, 2019 Report Posted April 10, 2019 Just finished a growler carrier tonight for a friend. W&C 8 oz skirting, back was stitched with Havana Brown Tiger thread and the rest stitched with 207 thread, finished with Tan Kote followed by wax. Edges finished with Giardini Black Dense Edge Paint.

Members JazzBass Posted April 10, 2019 Members Report Posted April 10, 2019 Wow...the fit, around the tapered bottle is amazing. What is that stitch called? It looks similar to a "baseball" stitch, where it is tension-ed by pulling from the "inside"...if that makes sense. Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan

Not sure what it is called - I saw someone on YouTube stitching a steering wheel cover using this stitch and decided it would work well for this application. Support straps are glued inside on the seam to take the strain off the stitches. 44 minutes ago, noobleather said: OOOhhh I like that!growlers are a pain to transport and that would make it much easier and classier! Thanks Noob - I carried a few full growlers home and your fingers get sore carrying by the little glass growler handle! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
