The 5th project from the leatherworkschool book is finally complete. This is the 1st intermediate project in the book and It definitely challenged me. Stitching in a welt required saddle stitching at wierd angles and also required the use of an awI. I didnt get it right the first time and I had to tear apart the bag and restitch. Once again I learned a ton from this project. Things start to get real when items become more and more 3 dimensional. I remember when this forum first started, I made a post where I saddle stitched a bunch of flat scrap pieces for 20 hours of practice. I got pretty good at stitching flat items and someone @Fadi even commented that it would be better to practice on live items or items that provide difficult stitching angles ...I really see his point now! On to project #6, which features gusset installation...more fun angles to get those hours of stitching practice in.
