bag looks good JAW, they get better with every post! and its a great design. my only suggestion is to work on your back stitches. the ends of the stitch lines look a little rough. I would use your hand to crank your sewing machine wheel and try to go back into the same hole of the last stitch. kinda like how I did it on this bag i did for the company i work for.

finished the PYC Wallet template!!!!! now i just need to make the tutorial.

i know i said it would be up today. need a few more days. but if you want the template early just shoot me a email.

here is a computer "mock up" of the design

Finally venturing into the big scary world of sewing machines. Very slowly.

Finally venturing into the big scary world of sewing machines. Very slowly.

If you want to do heavy fabrics and upholstery work, I can't say enough about Singer 111's and their clones. Needle feed, walking foots, that will go through anything and take up to #138 thread - and easy to work on. I've got the original Singer version and an Adler copy. The Adler is a better machine, but they both work great and can be found really cheap. Next for me, will be the double needle version. These are even cheaper. There's also a cylinder arm version.

Where'd you get that hickory stripe? I've been looking. Just want to make a couple personal projects.

[hollowsleather]

I got it from a local fabric mega-store, not sure where to find it online. Someone here must know though.

[McBaine]

Just a quick belt I made the other day. Pretty simple, but people have seemed to like it, so here it is.

[hollowsleather]

So I have this list...things that I've always wanted to make but for some reason never seem to get around to. There are four things on it.

Suspenders are the first thing to finally get crossed off of the list.

[Happy Hooligan]

what did you use for your suspender material? I've been looking too. I've got a 1000 feet of elastic I picked up at a thrift store, but it's just plain white.... Looks great!

[hollowsleather]

Thanks HH, I lucked out and found a roll of deadstock military surplus elastic.

[simontuntelder]

Hollow, you make such great things. The hardware looks a bit too big, but if you find the right hardware, you have something very good going on. Very nice, first try.

Does anybody know some good Japanese blogs/shops/websites about leatherworks? (not goodsjapan)

[zissou]

Fantastic suspenders, Hollows. They are also on my list of things to make myself. I was planning on making mine out of Chromexcel, with just the back strap in elastic. I have a pair of Brit military suspenders that I was going to cannibalize for webbing and hardware. Soon, hopefully...

[Sinji]

So clean..

[spy]

Horsehide cuts wonderfully clean since it's such a tight grain. It's very different from cowhide.

Great stuff Eric!

[corter]

I've been working on this card wallet design for a while now. It's finally ready to be made and sold, I'm really happy with it

[kyledunn]

Brilliant design, Eric!

Yea, patience is my arch nemisis.

Some other newish stuff:

[hollowsleather]

Hahah, I love this thread more than usual today. Yeah the spaghetti pile was from a huge batch of belts, but I do have some more interesting stuff on the horizon, I think. Mysterious, no?
