Hamish.J.Cronan 13 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I bought a leather hand stitching kit from Tandy Leather a while back to try my hand at knocking up a few things, thought i'd share a couple of pictures for you. The first one's for my pup, the second, red one with the lead was for a lady i met whilst out walking the dog. Hope you like them, ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bisketti 6 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hamish,looks like you done a decent job. Seen a whole lot worse for sure. Wee cheap tip is to wet the edge of leather & run a plastic biro pen along it,going with the grain. Just run it over twice at most,with a wee bit pressure. Good luck !!

BULLDOUG 199 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Looking good mate, I really enjoy working with leather myself, made some nice collars in the past. Heres a link to where i brought my hand tools and equipment. http://www.abbeysaddlery.co.uk/ My sons just having a go at making the canvas ones (bit of petrol money) YIS D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish.J.Cronan 13 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 thanks for the comments, here's the kit i bought with all the bits in you need. The booklet's handy, tells you how to do various types of stitches and shows you how to make the jaws for holding the leather together whilst you stitch http://www.tandyleatherfactory.co.uk/en-gbp/search/searchresults/11189-00.aspx Abbey Saddlery are good, very helpful email back from one of the guys there about thread sizes/widths/etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
