Obbi - great work ... you stuff is always amazing but this one blew me away. My fave by far =rep

This pencil bag that I stitched together for school is definitely not leather, but it's a creation, so I guess I'll share it here.

Made out of left over Levi's 501 STF denim, a beltloop, and a redtab, with pale yellow cotton thread.

I'm a messy worker

Sorry for the large pictures!

[nixon]

Nice, I'm actually planning on making a leather pencil bag once I get another hide in. Did you just take denim from the hem and sew it in a tube?

[Originalji]

yes that's all i did. it is much easier than it looks.

sew up two sides and flip inside out.

Update on my 100 day project. Small, simple things for now, i realized that it's going to be hard doing 100 unique things!

Baseball stitch for opening day

and a wallet i did this weekend

[177itch]

messed up a pocket moleskine cover and made a few of these out of the scraps.

Leather ring

[captivated]

hahaha leather ring, i personally haven't seen much of those around.

[zissou]

I tested out some new leather dye colors the other day. There's black along the bottom, British Tan on the left, and Cordovan on the right. The British Tan is the perfect rich mid-brown, and the Cordovan is a dark brown with red undertones. I'm looking forward to using them!

[riskyrukus]

British tan looks good, the close up of the cordovan makes it seem black

[zissou]

In person, it's definitely not black. Very dark brown with noticeable red undertones.

Bought myself half a cow today...

You should turn the "2" brand into a side of wallet... might look cool.

[riskyrukus]

Looks almost like a carpet rug zissou, definitely awesome. How much did that cost you?

[zissou]

It was about $65 on sale, which was really the only reason I bought that much! The thing is at least 7ft long. I also bought a strap cutter so I can start cutting belts from it. This was definitely the nicest side that they had.

I'd like to use it for something, but not sure what. It's 10 oz leather, so way too heavy for wallets.

where is it from? tandy?

[zissou]

Yep, the one closest to me. They are having a decent sale on some of their veg-tanned leathers this month.

[Obbigood]

good purchase zissou

$65 for a 10oz, and this size is really a good deal!

[chris_n]

zissou looks great! got any closeups of the grain? grain porn

[zissou]

Here you go, chief.

First using the British tan, I went a little too dark (top), and dyed another a little lighter (bottom).

[jackandcoke]

hey zissou how thick is that leather? and do you know if they sell thick leather like the corter/tanner belts at tandy?

[zissou]

The leather I got is about 10oz, which is plenty thick for belts. The tandy shop near me also sells pre-cut belt blanks, which might possibly be a little thicker, bit I haven't compared them. I don't know that I'd want to stitch anything thicker than 10oz!

[hollowsleather]

Stitching that stuff is brutal on the hands,

but excellent for calluses.

[beatle]

and worth the hard work* turned out really nice

[hollowsleather]

Here's a new thingamajobber:

There's a card slot on each side, and then space for cash in the middle. Perfect for the minimalists.

I keep trying to design simpler and simpler pieces, since I never carry more than a few cards and a few bills. I hate carrying change and a heap of receipts like some people tend to.
