Hand Stitchin Fool ?

I would like to make a case like this. No machine, so ALL hand stitching. Is that nuts or is it possible for it to turn out nice, even tho I'm hand stitching it? No tooling, just plain jane...(Pics are not all of the same case, just for construction purposes)....Larry

It's absolutely possible to make one that looks every bit as good as the one shown without a machine.
 
I'm hand stitching all of my leather work and love doing it. Keep the lines straight like you mentioned and it'll turn out!
 
It's possible I have seen some that I swore were machine made:what!: but, on closer examination saw the hand stitch!

That case is an ambitious project but one thing is for sure when you get through you will be a hand stitching fool (and I say that with the upmost respect), and you will be learned all the ins and outs of hand stitching 110!

BY the time you get done with that no one can say you went to Hand Stitching 101, it will have to be a 10!:biggrin:
