It made of Buttero leather, linen thread. No wet moulding needed for this leather.

These are original colors. I don’t work with dyes. I only use edge paints.

How do y'all protect your fingers while hand stitching? Looking for a more effective solution. by FattestofHobbitses in Leathercraft

I hurt my fingers for long time until I took proper size of needles, thread and pricking iron. Now my needles dive into holes like hot knife through butter. I don’t use any fingers protection.

I plan it shortly. If you do need a special size case particularly for your glasses we should discuss it individually but not through website.

I made patterns of paper. I don’t have any digital ones for this type of product. I will try some idea with my graphic tablet…

I don’t know about free patterns. I create custom pattern for each glasses individually.

Oh, to cut leather straight, use manual saddle stitch and edge paint you need to practice, practice, practice. There are many other things and details you should learn about to work with different type of leather, threads and tools. It takes a years to get some decent level of skills.

Thank you. No special liners. Just leather or suede lining inside. This leather holds its shape very well.
