I’ve been using the thin paper pouches my needles came in for storage. With my spare time recently I made small pouches for the two needle sizes that I use. What small/large projects have you made for your leather crafting or just around your house in general

The pouches are made with scrap Wickett and Craig 4-5oz leather, 3mm French irons, .45mm waxed linen. The numbers are stamped with vintage Sears metal stamps a coworker gave me.

Finished my first bag after making a few wallets and it was a ton of fun! I bought the pattern from Hemlock and Hyde. I loved the design and they have an active YouTube channel with a 30 min tutorial that you can follow along with.

The leather is 5-6oz Wickett and Craig burgundy English leather, 10-11oz of the same leather for the strap, .41mm waxed linen thread, 3mm stitch spacing, Vernis edge paint.

Lessons learned, oh boy did I learn a lot! I will never stitching another bag in 3mm spacing again. I thought it would be fine and I like the look but it took forever. With long stitch lines make sure to periodically remove the twist from your thread in order to prevent knots. Edge paint is a lot of fun and so are setting rivets
