Dyeing and Finishing Veg-Tan Leather
I have some 1.5mm veg tan that I'm hoping to dye and use for the Zip Wallet. I have a couple questions about the process: - I was planning on cutting the rough pieces, then dyeing, then cutting exactly to the templates. I worry that the dye could shrink/warp the leather, I just want to confirm that this the best order of operations.
- I'm using Fiebings Leather Dye in Yellow, which is an alcohol based dye. The manufacturer recommends using their Resolene product as a finish, but I think the acrylic might have a poorer hand feel than a wax/oil. I tried using Fiebings Atom Wax, but it significantly darkened the colour to more of a brown. I'm thinking of either trying a Carnauba wax, the Resolene acrylic, or just ordering a different pre-coloured leather (like the Alran Sully I'm using for the interior). What would you recommend?

I think the Sully would look great for that, and would definitely be way easier to deal with than having to dye and finish everything else. Buttero comes in a nice yellow though if you decide to go with a pre-colored veg tan and some suppliers also have Buttero Hatch in yellow as well which is kind of like a saffiano print, it's very nice. Plus with the pre-finished leathers you don't have to worry about having to finish them afterwards and potentially still having dye rub off at some point. Although with the yellow you would still have to test different conditioners to see which one darkens it the least amount.
How’s my stitching?
I am just learning how to stitch and would love some feedback. I have done about 45 of these strips and am staring to feel like I am get the hang of it. The stitching on the flesh side lacks the uniformity I would like. Is there anything I can do when adding the cast to the saddle stitch to get a more consistent angle on the back side?

Watch Straps
Hello I would be really grateful for some help from anyone on here who makes watch strap please. I am trying to design my own templates for watch straps and I am struggling as how get an accurate sizing guide.
I have looked at a few other makers sites to view their sizing guides and to see how they have come up with the sizes of the straps from that of a wrist measurement but I cant quite seem to work out how this is done.
For this example I am going to use a wrist measurement 17.5 cm which in the extract of one particular makers size guide would indicate that the wrist measure is comfortably in the size range for a 115/75 strap and a lug to lug measurement of 40 mm.

115-75 is an industry norm and will fit a range of wrist sizes and watch cases. It's common that correct fit will not be the middle hole in the adjustment range. This should fit a 17.5cm wrist however.
With a number of variables at play, the only real way to find out which hole a 17.5cm wrist fits (and adjust pattern if needed) is to make a rough prototype and find out. Even leather stiffness can change which sizing hole you need.

Za mene je igranje igara jedan od najboljih načina za opuštanje i bijeg od svakodnevnog stresa. Nakon posla ili napornog dana, igranje mi pomaže da razbistrim misli i usredotočim se na nešto zabavno. Bilo da istražujem otvoreni svijet, rješavam zagonetke ili igram multiplayer s prijateljima, igre pružaju odličan bijeg, a istovremeno drže mozak aktivnim. Također volim što gaming može biti društven, jer se mogu povezati s prijateljima online i zajedno dijeliti iskustva. S druge strane, single-player igre nude zanimljive priče i uranjanje u nove svjetove. Gaming za mene nije samo zabava, već i način da se napunim energijom i opustim. 🎮
