Mmmmm nice! both the chicken (snap ) and the pouch (as always!)


a question i have been meaning to ask you! - the stitching is done on an angle I realise, do you use a jig of any sort or is it just your great skill that enables you to get the stitches looking so neat?

I have tried once (having another go soon though) and even though the 'entry' holes are even (can easily mark the holes before) the exits though acceptable (for my skill) are not so even

 

[singteck]

Just as well I cooked extra!

You can come over to my place and I can show you how I do it. No jig involved. The exit hole shouldn't matter if they are more or less even. Can't have them all even but you should not be able to see them because they are hidden. If the entry hole are even then it could be your stitching. You have to make sure that the stiches are even. Remember which thread goes up and which one goes down and keep to that pattern.

thats a lovely offer mate, thanks!

I get your drift but I guess I diddn't explain very well...... do you mark / punch the peices seperatly or in one go? - I drilled the holes in 'situ' as it were and though the hole is even on entry the exits are not as even where i went in at a slightly different angle i guess

 

[singteck]

I see what you mean I punch the hole separately. I mark the sides first and then use the side to mark the start hole on the front and back. A pricking iron is used to mark all the stitches and then I ***** them separately. The main piece with a stitching awl and the side with a round awl. I don't think you will be able to get a clean and lined exit hole with drilling.

right, think I follow you - perhaps i diddn't help myself by starting off by adding a base to a round tube! (looks like a highball glass)

The reason i tried it like that was because i was sewing a curve and couldn't get my (very poor math) head round working out how may holes and the angles etc.....

 

[singteck]

I think the easiest way to do round base is the mark the sides and then calculate the number of stitch hole. The divide the circle on the base to that amount and ***** the holes.

Not the easiest to try on a first project

Sometimes the engineering background comes in handy in leather work too
