The top piece I figured the diameter of the horizontal piece [7''] and made the top piece 1'' [8''] . for the fold and sewing only thing I did not consider is the stretching of the leather. I think i will try leaving the extra 1/2 of the 1'' off to compensate for the stretch? Edited April 8, 2020 by Frodo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toxo Report post Posted April 10, 2020 Love your rustic stuff Frodo. I might have mentioned Tony See a time or two but if you want some inspiration or a pattern, https://www.etsy.com/shop/SteampunkMasks?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=20258358#items I'm gonna do the Indiana Jones pattern but not got round to it yet.
