Nice little project, congrats! What I love with this kind of project is that they’re easy and it doesn’t have to look perfect in order to work just fine. Plus it doesn’t require a lot of leather so it’s easy to make a new one later down the way, when you’re more comfortable with your skills, just to appreciate the progress you’ve made.

Have you ever tried saddle stitch ? It would be a good start if you want to keep crafting!

Sounds like a great project, you should definitely do it and keep us posted about it! If the community can be of any help let us know :)

Yup, looks just fine to me, especially for a stitchless project! If you liked doing it, you should try talking this a step further, maybe with a simple cardholder !? There are tons of tutorials out there if you need inspiration!

It absolutely fits as leathercraft, congrats on your work! It looks like the covers perfectly fits its purpose but pics are lacking a bit of light, if you have brighter images feel free to share them, we’d be happy to have a look!

Check out the firewall settings, it could be the issue. Also don’t forget to turn off VPN on both devices if you’re using one.

That’s a great suggestion, thank you !

Thank you for your kind words.

I used fiebings pro dye, and to apply it I just cut a kitchen sponge into bits and dipped them into the dye. Then I applied in circular motion, and damped again with dye on the areas that I wanted darker.

Also I nourished the leather with neastfoot oil prior to dyeing, I find that is helps getting a smoother, more homogeneous result.

I suggest giving it a try on some scraps before giving it a go on a nice project. You can also use isopropil alcohol to dilute the dye it you want a lighter shade.

Been using cinnamon for a couple years and I’m happy with it, although I don’t spend much time on my computer. Been recommending it as well since I don’t know any better. What’s the most user friendly distro you would recommend ?

Thank you

Thank you for the suggestion, not a fan of FUTO, it’s not FOSS and owners are shady to say the less. But I appreciate you taking the time to reply !

Hi, thanks a lot for you reply, I did tried miracast, but nothing shows up, I’ll dig into it later. I’m running Graphene here, so there may be a security feature blocking casting, I should investigate this as well.

Thank you for your kind words (and for creating this sub!). It’s pueblo Burgundy if you want to look for it. Although you should note that it darkens significantly over time, as it develops a rich patina.

Nice work, and clean alignment of the rivets. Kudos on the craft!

This is extremely nice of you to say. I really started with a crappy set of tools that I bought online and the first scraps of leather I could get my hands on, and of course my first cardholder was an atrocity, but I still have it, and from there, I learned everything from tutorials and forums. There’s more than enough free content online to learn the basics and more. Also the leathercraft community is very kind, so if you feel like this is a hobby for you, I can only encourage you to give it a try it doesn’t require much room, and you should be able to get started with 50 bucks. Happy to provide resources or advice on tools if you’d like.

Same here, but it does captivate the baby,and it was a fun project (took me quite some time to make it though).

I think about it but I have no idea where to start and how this works. Also I assumed that with my crappy skills self hosting may be a big vulnerability!?

Lining was the same as this one https://lemmy.zip/post/56712167
