Members Handstitched Posted July 5, 2021 Members Report Posted July 5, 2021 G'Day, Wasn't sure where to put this, here or ' show off' . Just repaired a vintage case. It wasn't a restore , it was just to put it back together and make it functional as the client requested. It was a bit of a mess, as the grand kids played in it, apparently . It all went back together pretty well, lots of gluing and handstitching . But the bit I wanted to share is how I did the corners, matching the ' grain' using a mane comb ( I sell horse stuff) . I also thought about using the prickly knobbly part of a meat tenderiser , if I had one . Looked quite good I thought. I got the 'fold' wrong on the corner....shhhh...don't tell anyone eh? The colour was a mix of 'ox blood' dye and a bit of Eco Flo dk brown, not a perfect match, but close.
