Card Slot Cardholder and Turned Edge Watch Straps
The card wallet was made in a few months ago and the watch strap was finished yesterday. It was easy at first, measuring, drawing pattern, cutting leather, but at the end of it, it was challenging for me. Perhaps, the strap width was too narrow and material wasn't the right choice.... At some point, I didn't want to finish it.... but I did.... The top stitch looks fine, but rear side of stitch isn't as neat :( I used a pig skin liner which worked out ok, but it wasn't satisfactory to me...
In all, it was a good experience! I would love to use real alligator skin on projects upcoming!
Thanks,

Oh wow, that is a surprise to me! I thought, guessed, your past students have produced boxes or cases of gilded edge...
I enjoyed it a lot making the box with gilded edges.
The behind story is that I tried to make this box a few month ago, but my stitching awl got super short after an attempt of awl sharpening and so I had to pause the work on this particular project and later on I bought a new stitching awl... And for my second attempt of sharpening an awl, I successfully sharpened the awl and was able to finish the box!
I would love to use Sedgwick's English Bridle leather and different shade of gold foils or other colors of foils.
I think this is the favorite of my works so far.
You guys made my day!
Off to a beach with kids today~
Have a wonderful day, ya'll!
