New Wallet Design
This is more of your standard bifold wallet.
First of all: Coffee bag burlap is the worst fabric ever. It sheds and its weave is too loose for anything. I don't even think it's good for holding coffee beans.
Anyway, it's the fabric my friend wanted to use for her wallet project, so here it is.
I sprayed this with some acrylic to keep it from fraying.
Burlap.
Burlap.
Pretty simple tire tube pockets.
Woo.

Needle chart
I found this fun needle chart on Weaver Leather's website.
Most of my machines use a 135 x 17 needle system, so it's interesting to see how they compare to leather-machine needles.
Here's another neat chart that lists some popular leather machines with their needles.
The needle sizes are in metric. A size 20 needle is 125, and a 22 would be 140.
Thanks, Weaver!

Jellyfish Camera Bag
Here's another sea creature...this time on a 15-inch bag. 15x11, 11.5x3.5
Removable padding for cameras 'n' stuff.
The Singer 20U is pretty good at making squiggly lines.

Shopping on eBay
Do you need to sew through three inches of material with glass thread?
Do you need to do it in space?
Well, look no further...
That's a monster!
Apparently it was made to sew insulation panels together for the shuttle program.
Good luck finding a needle that size.
Pretty sweet.

True/False Wallets
I just made some limited edition wallets/change holders for the True/False Film Festival (get your pass now!) 1000d Cordura nylon. They'll last for years.
If you want one, you can get it at The Butterfly Tattoo, downtown Columbia, Mo. I think they'll be up on the website too. There are only twenty of 'em so there may or may not be ones available during the fest--March 3-6.
These are the best things ever for carrying change. Tip the wallet forward so the change slides into the lip and pick out what you need.
