Sheep's Wool Fly Wallet

Post by Santiago »

ImageImageImage

Just started making a few things from leather. This is my proto-type for a leather sheep's wool fly wallet. The sheep's wool came via a shoe insole I bought from ebay for this purpose, which was much cheaper than buying the fly patches. The wallet easily fits into one's pocket.

My stitching is not perfect but at this stage I'm more focust on the design rather than perfection! Thanks for looking

Well done.
With time and care and not a little patience will come perfection.

Nothing more satisfying than using something you've made yourself :Hat:
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Great Job you have made of that, nothing wrong that stitching!
Well done.

Mr B
The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
