Recently I hooked leather craft and carving stamps.
In these two days, I made this passport case with two colors of leather.
I got the small pieces and they were short for the original pattern.
So I arranged the pattern a little.
I enjoyed hand stitching on leather. It takes much more time than fabric, but it's fun.
I liked this book because it has many detailed techniques.
And yesterday, I got stamp ink for fabric and cotton tape for stamp.
So I made these tags. I ironed after stamping, so they don't disappear.
The center one is Bo-chan stamp!
I wanted to use the tags, so I made up these pouches soon.
I also put leather handles on them, because I wanted to use leathers also.
I liked the bottom.
I love this cotton linen fabric from SWANY. It's just beautiful!
Thank you for reading.
I'm enjoying a lot!
More lovely work!!

Nice new work Mai! It's beautiful. Also, I wish I could read Japanese, there are so many wonderful Japanese craft books (very clever ones). I just look at the pictures. Do you know if any of them are available or have been translated into English?
ReplyDeleteMai, I just searched via Google and found many japanese craft books that have been translated into English. =)

ReplyDeleteThey look so precious! You do wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteI recently got that book and it's very challenging; I can't read much Japanese but it's really fun.
It'll help me with the reading, plus I get to try something new with leather. Hehe.
Question, Mai san, what kind of ink do you use for the tags?
よろしくおねがいします.
Whaaaao! You did it!! The stitches on the leather case are so beautiful! I thought you used a sewing machine and wondered if you have it! Very exciting to see your new items, they always knock me out! :D
ReplyDeletethose are toooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty! And you hand sewed them... Wow! You make such cool things.
ReplyDeleteThe pouches remind me of coffee mugs! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHello Ali, I got the needle for leather craft. It's not so expensive.
ReplyDeleteHello Peter Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI used Versacraft(Japanese), ink for fabrics. It doesn't disappear after you iron it.
I see! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteYour work is getting even better, if possible! Love the leather and the tags. Very nice.
