This was a wallet I made in between orders. It's dyed oxblood with a black edge fade and saddle stitched with cream ritza tiger thread. I made a wristlet to go with it but that sold separately with a different project.
It's made from natural veg tan leather that I oiled and sealed. The edges are burnished with beeswax. This design holds up to 10 cards and half folded bills.
This was the first Minimalist Bifold I made with dragon scales after getting a special request. It's made from natural veg tan leather and hand stitched with ritza tiger thread. The edges are burnished with beeswax.
The customer wanted a Joker theme for the colors and their favorite color was lime green. But I didn't have that color. I mixed a custom lime green for the scales and got approval after sending pictures of the samples. The edges have a purple edge fade and they chose a yellow thread to go with the gold hardware.
I had some dye leftover and made a matching belt loop to send with the wallet. They were happy with their order and I'm happy with the build.
All card holders. A few different patterns but mostly 3 pocket types. There's goat, alligator, shark, calf, shell cordovan, Baker's russian kip, various horween tannages. All are stitched at 2.25mm with meisi superfine 0.3mm. All are edge painted. Thought it would be fun to share!
Thanks for looking!
Tactical pause on the cowboy boot project while I wait on a set of Mallory stretchers to ship.
This is pair ~9 for me, and probably my best yet.
Pattern is a semi-lace to toe with a hard counter like a Packer/cowboy boot. Ive found that a sewn in counter boot wears better on my feet with the strain I put on them at work.
Got the first boot lasted on a GC975/125 in 9.5EEE from lisa sorrell, and I think it might be one of my favorite shapes.
Gonna make a good attempt at a rolled welt on this pair, and the new insoles that clöe produced have been absolutely spectacular to carve; nice and flexible while retaining good density at ~7-9mm over the insole.
Leathers are a milled Acadia for the quarters, horween waxed flesh for the backstrap, counter cover, and vamp. I seem to be allergic to monotone colors and texture uniformity.
Thanks for lookin!
She's all finished! She's slim, can hold up to 6 cards and cash, stitched with 2.75 spacing which is just lovely.
Following the projects for my Dad and Uncle, I wanted to try something even more bold for my third build. I paired Navy Croc-embossed cowhide with a Sunflower Yellow accent to see how a "pop of color" would elevate the luxury aesthetic.
Crafted this little piece to keep me sane from my busy schedule. More infos in comment.
Finished this one today! I loved working with such a bright blue and the gator just pops. I polished it up with Saphir mirror gloss. Goat leather is from Harmattan here in England. Top quality goat!
Stitched at 2.25, Meisi super fine 0.3mm. Blue painted edges.
Thanks for looking!
Hey everyone, bit of a milestone for me here, I finally put together my first pattern release. It’s a fitted case for the Crimson Hides 2+5+9 3mm French iron set.
I’m releasing the pattern for free as a little thank you to the leatherworking community. I’ve learned a ton from the people here over the years, and this felt like a good way to give something back.
The pattern includes the layout/template files, both a4 and letter, and is designed specifically around the Crimson Hides 2+5+9 set for a snug fit.
Like I said, this is my first pattern release, so if you have any issues, just let me know.
Appreciate all the knowledge, feedback, and inspiration this community shares daily. Hope some of you get some use out of it. To get the pattern, you just have to head over to my website (link in my profile), and you’ll find it under Leathercraft in the available items section.
