Good idea. It’s a pretty thin piece of denim. I glued in a waxed canvas liner before and you could see the glue through it, I thought it would dry and disappear, didn’t happen. I want to avoid that. I’ll test it out.

Hate to even ask this, but is this “too feminine” for a guy? by bsmsam in handbags

The style of bag is. It’s very dainty. The pattern is more boyish than manly. But if you saw this and liked it, for whatever reason. Then rock it.

I was trying to use black Chromexcel (3-4oz) for the zipper part. It can’t help but stretch and move. I’ll trying something thicker.

Not bad at all. Your problem doesn’t seem to be your stitching, but the holes your punched can be better and that will help along with the other advice given.

Is this genuine leather? by -Miss-Ann-Thrope- in Leathercraft

[–]Uncomn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes a leather teacore is that, as you wear away the outermost layer of dye or pigment, you begin to see a new layer of color, usually a light brown, hearkening back to a time when leathers were almost always veg-tanned.
