Just got into leathercrafting a couple months ago and I j ust finished a sunglass case. The case uses black Buttero leather and it is stitched with 0.45mm linen thread using 2.7mm stitching irons.
It was kind of a combination of things really. My Coach bag started falling apart, I needed a new hobby, and watching leathercrafting videos on YouTube made me realise how therapeutic saddle stitching is. I'm still practicing but now I have a few friends that want me to make things for them and the idea of starting an online business is sounding pretty good as well. I have product photography and web development experience as well so all these pieces just kinda came together. I'm starting out making smaller items that utilizes different components of the bag I want to make, sunglass case with a snap, a coin purse with piping, etc.
Nice job and welcome to the site!
