Made this for myself last week. The only 'frivolous' thing so far. Everything else has had a necessity behind it's creation.

Hope to see some of you there.
I will be with the fabulous #SewinTents teaching how to saddle stitch and the more advanced double loop stitch (lacing).
If last year is anything to go by, it should be a good weekend all around.

Lovely little bottle holder for carrying on your belt.

Leather coat that I repaired a little while ago. It was in a bit of a sorry state when it arrived. Fibre binder, patching, flexi fill, re-dye and feeding made it look better. The leather was very fragile and needed strengthening.

It's not too late to get tickets 😉

I've not posted for a while, getting ready for the start of my festival season.
I thought I would post a picture of one of the first things I made. No pattern, just for me. Holds 32 arrows.

Oh look, another hat. The very first one I made in fact.

I seem to make a lot of hats.
Obviously not all of my creations are hats, but I'm just starting to realise how many I have actually made 👀

The 3rd and last in the Dragons Gaze series of top hat that I made. It sold so quickly I didn't even have time to take any decent pictures of it when it was finished. 🤣

Another custom order from December 2024.
For a folding saw.
Made using a paper outline drawing of the saw when folded closed.
For the wet moulding I used my whetstone to get the rough shape and then rounded the bottom with a plastic edge slicker (disc shaped).

And this one is also featured in my profile piccy. Sold this one at Green Gathering 2024.
The profile pic really does not do it justice.

Another custom order I made a little while ago (Christmas 2024). Thought I'd pop this one on here seeing as it's featured on my profile piccy things.

These are interesting to make. Brewers pitch is a little hard to come by though, luckily, I have a recipe 😉

I discovered I am not a fan of sewing wire into the brims on this project, plenty of swearing and only a couple of small tantrums 🤣
