Ok, so this is one of my first leather projects.
Can't take credit for the idea but the work's all mine
Leather is off cuts from trimming car seats and the thread is artificial sinue from the group buy.
Now I wonder where I've seen something like that before...
I like the addition of the handle loop - but the important question is: what's the contents? A decent whisky I hope?

I love your belts! A technical question for you though; does the stitching add strength to the belt, or is it purely decorative?

A few home made bits
Amazing work by all, guys. Chopper any chance of a bigger picture of this and a run through of the contents?

if your referring to the parallel lines of stitch marks down either side of the belts, this is just the stitch line, made with a groover and overstitch wheel. it looks like stitching but its just embossing really and is intended for decoration.
There are some belts made by stitching pig skin or calf leather to a cow hide strap and these are stitched down the full length, although I've only ever made one, like that!
most belts of that type are machine stitched too, although the one I did, was completely hand sewn (not for the feint hearted!)

What do you think set me off
Also remember that can you recycle leather from old bags and used stuff like old suede jackets have a look round the the op shops or car boot stalls.As well you can make or use improvised a lot of leather working tools you can make sew holes with a hammer and nail or a drill.Some of the tools in my leathercraft toolkit are a mallet made from a old hammer handle and a bit of shovel and a kids pink plastic dinner knife from ikeaAwe inspiring stuff.
