leathercraft

Here’s another watchstrap, I got many pics of old projects in my gallery that I’ll keep share over time, hope it’s not seen as spamming and that it doesn’t bother anyone haha. As usual, I’m happy to share details about the build :)

Simple deck case I made. Very easy project as it’s made with a single piece of leather, folded and held in shape with only 2 rivets.

Here’s mobile I made, got the pattern on etsy, can’t remember the name of the shop but I can look it up if someone is interested.

Here’s a bifold I made for a relative. Made it with pueblo leather, aquagum glue, meisi linen thread and fiebing dye + tokonole for the edge work.

Here’s one with more details than the previous one, and one more pic of the strap from above !

Watchstraps are definitely my favorite thing to make, so here’s one I made, more are probably coming haha.

I recently finished a cash wallet from 4oz vegtan leather.

A few years ago I made a passport sized notebook similar to the Midori notebook. I really enjoy it and wanted to try a larger size.

Made one over a year ago and realized I needed a few more. Vegtan and saddle stitched.

This is a bag I stitched for my significant other’s renaissance faire costume back in June.

Hello all.

I wanted to make a koozie for my drinks. This is the first attempt. It’s too tight which makes it difficult to remove and I’m not convinced the bottom part is needed.

This was a fun and simple little project. It was my friend’s birthday the other day and I hadn’t got her a present yet. She is a rather accomplished palaeobotanist/artist and ginkgos are her favourite thing. So I actually downloaded one of her own pictures of some leaves, scaled them correctly to life size and printed them out. I then traced them onto leather, finished them a little and made a quick leather thong to string them onto (the clip and split ring are just there to give her options).

So this is a project I've been putting off for a while because I'm still bad at skiving and reducing the thickness of the t-pockets is kind of needed so it doesn't become super chonky.

A remarkably quick and easy project I wanted to get done in a short amount of time. I got to use a piece of purple leather I had been saving. Inside is a single card slot and a bigger space behind it.

This was a smaller project after my last one, I wanted to make something relatively simple that could have a pouch with some ability to expand. I ended up reworking how I would make the expanding gussets a bunch of times, settled on attaching them to the front section by gluing then turning them in on themselves and stitching the fold, which has kind of worked but not my favourite technique there by a long shot.

I've had a bit of a hiatus in my leathercrafting recently. I designed this bag back at the end of May and quickly cut out the pieces, attached lining leather etc. then I just stalled for over a month. I got rather disallusioned with my design and the thickness of the leather (especially once lined) and was thinking it just wasn't going to go together properly and wouldn't work. I have a fairly limited number of larger leather panels so I was a bit depressed I had just wasted some.
