Day 1

I though I'd show a project from start to finish.

This is project I've never done before so you get to see everything.


The project is a leather case for a drawing pad.

This is the pad I'm using as a guide.

First I drew up some really simple plans.

For leather I'm using a 6-7oz shoulder.

Above is a picture of an average sized shoulder.

To scratch the pattern out you need a square (the metal thing), a pencil, a modeling tool, and a yard stick.

Once I've finished scratching out the pattern, I cut it out with a pair of scissors.

Next I punched holes in on the top side of the leather pieces I just cut out.

Then I sewed them together.

(By hand. In case you were wondering)

The pieces sown.

A better look. I know the end is unfinished, but this is the first time I'm doing this pattern.

The first time I do a pattern I like to put the thing together then take it a part to dye it.

And this is the leather pad in relation to the drawing pad.

And that was day 1.

This was yesterday but I didn't have time to post last night so I'm posting it today.

I'll post what I do today later.

Also This isn't today's picture. I'll post that later today too.
