I can see how you made it GM now you say but you are clever seeing the potential when you found the leather. My DD is going on a leather course, just needs to find one, it was her birthday present.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

Lucky DD! I would love that! I am going to try hand stitching leather next, as per YouTube.Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

Grauntie - good luck with the hand stitching. I recently bought a pack of assorted needles because mine were going rusty and there was a leather needle in the pack. It looked a fearsome weapon!

I shall wield two at a time Daisy, one back and one front, but first I think I need a special hole punch. I inherited a lot of sewing stuff from grandparents via parents and Aunts, I seem to have needles for every event, even sails!Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

That sounds interesting GM, nice to have a project. My Fil was a saddler and made some beautiful saddles and briefcases etc.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

Cor! I would love to watch a saddler at work Plant. Thinking about it I probably could...DD1 has one at her yard every now and again. I will ask.Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

Mimi - Lady Bracknell's "A Handbag" came up as a question on the Chase this tea-time! In my head, Grauntie's clever creation has become Lady B's handbag now!Originally posted by Mimi View Post

Grauntie - we still have sail needles from our days of dingy sailing - there always seemed to be bits that needed stitching back together, but OH used to do it, not me!
I don't understand how you can have one needle for the back and one for the front - don't the needles have to go through the leather, so the back comes to the front and visa versa?"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

I had a look on Utube Daisy after Grauntie mentioned two needles, it is worth a look, very clever.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

Grauntie - that's a narrow escape. It could have been a problem with a whacking big needle in your hands.Originally posted by Grauntie Mag View Post
