After a long hiatus I am back to making. My newest hobby is leatherwork.
I cut this from a whole 6oz (thick) veg-tanned cow hide. It has internal pockets made of lining leather. I colored it with "Dark Cocoa Brown" water-based stain using my airbrush and I applied a color-fast sheen by hand. I hand stitched and hand riveted it in my basement while watching a season of Dr Who. The aged-looking brass findings are from Joann Fabric. This is a skills-building prototype for a larger laptop case for my macbook (that I plan to start after a holiday craft sprint.)
