Title: My second leather thingy/purse/wallet
Post by: Bodgeitandscarper on September 09, 2021, 18:38:09 PM
Finished this one today, the sides were a bit difficult to attach the zipped compartment and the divider sections.  They said to hand sew, but no way would I have got a needle through, so I managed to use the sewing machine, with a bit of wiggling.
I chose to attach snap fasteners too, which was another challenge wiggling the snap tool in to the right place.

I shall use this for charging leads and plug when we go away.

That is flipping clever with leather, very unusual.  I'd be pleased to get a row of straight stitches.

I hate you @Bodgeitandscarper
Just when I think I'm starting to get less mediocre at sewing and you come along and show that masterpiece.
That really is quite spectacular  :)

and I hope your machine breaks real soon  :P

Fabulous.  Must have taken a while! 
What pattern is the purse?

@Ohsewsimple It's this one (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/677259354/wallet-embroidery-designs-in-the-hoop?transaction_id=2607664181) from Etsy.  Embroidery time was 112 minutes  :o

@Bill Do not hate me, it's my embroidery machine that has created that masterpiece - the bits I had to sew are where the zip insert and dividers are sewn into the sides, do NOT look too closely at them  :laughing:

Oh, in the hoop design.  Looks a bit like the NCW that I’ve made before……..but not that much embroidery.   :faints:  But when it’s one colour you can just start it up and do something else while it does it’s thing.  Of course that’s when it all goes pear shaped.  :laughing:

Ooooh, I really like that @Bodgeitandscarper. I'm sorely tempted but must realise I have too much to do as it is.....  :P

@Bodgeitandscarper this pattern
https://emmalinebags.com/products/the-necessary-clutch-wallet-pdf

It has a huge following.  And there are all sorts of hacks and various methods of making it.  I’ve made 3 I think.  Can’t find any photos at the moment unfortunately.  Probably transferred them to my iMac.
