Members Retswerb Posted May 20, 2020 Members Report Posted May 20, 2020 That’s a great looking case! I did something much smaller than this a while ago and stitching the slots gave me fits. Looks like you’ve got that all figured out.

Members Retswerb Posted May 21, 2020 Members Report Posted May 21, 2020 It was a gift I gave, a case with slots for essential oil bottles. I’ve been thinking of making a pen case, lots of other projects to tackle first.
Members Riem Posted January 10, 2021 Members Report Posted January 10, 2021 @paloma this is a great piece of work! Sheepskin and calfskin - it came out beautifully. Calfskin outer and sheepskin inside, I guess? What thickness are those leathers, please? And on a side note - those pens... Fountain pens mostly if I'm not mistaken? I'm drooling... Sorry for reviving an old post, I have not been to this part of the site in a few months. Me bad.

Hi Riem, 1.3mm for outer leather, and 0.8mm for inner leather. yes, only fountain pens are the only ones that deserve a respectful case. time does not respect what is done without it https://tradisign.blogspot.com https://www.instagram.com/tradisign/

I'll have to visit my leather supplier again - thinnest I have is 1.6 - 2mm... Good reason to drive the 80 km. ;-) I have Parker or two and a couple of Sheaffers and a Faber-Castell a friend gave me recently, straight from the factory, and then there's my calligraphy pens and I think there's... No wait, this is a leathercraft forum... Sigh, so many hobbies, so little time. But I love the look of your pen case - absolutely stunning.
