Just came back from a week away for work which has torn me away from my learning. Getting back into the flow of things with a simple little project and free pattern from J. H. Leather which is a little pouch for holding needles.

I made a few mistakes on this, had to unpick some thread and the pattern seemingly was designed for stitching chisels of a different pitch so I’ve got some uneveness (yes I probably could have accounted for it but I just kind of went in head first on it). I’m not overly keen on the pattern itself so I’d like to draft my own at some point instead to make it more how I prefer.

I do feel I’m coming to a point where I need some new tools to play with, an edge beveller and some simple hardware setting tools (and hardware) in particular.
