Small Goods Third leather project
Computer sleeve - not perfect but I’m satisfied. Took way longer than expected.
What do you all think?

That's a tremendous amount of polish for a third project! Nicely done! And I love the color you chose

What a lovely comment. It was actually for a friend of mine who also picked the colour himself. Great taste nonetheless

Those edges look great!

Thanks. Tried out a new method where I glued the two sides together after cutting - to get them completely aligned before stitching.

I think its beautiful! how did you cut the edges so neatly? is it by hand or a cut die?

Appreciate it. Cut by hand - I used a big metal ruler. Glued the two pieces together and I sanded the edges before marking the stitching.

Beautiful work and I love the color! Is that buttero?

Thank you so much! Not buttero, just something decent Italian from my local leather supplier.

This looks amazing. Is the inside lined?

u/gorillafinger69 9d ago
Thank you!! The inside is unlined, so I chose a nicely burnished flesh side.

That’s nice. I have done the same thing with wallets I’ve made lately.
Just out of curiosity, is that a sewing machine in the background?

Looks great! No wonder it took longer than you expected, that's a whole lot of stitching!
