Barista Apron

Here's my friend's competition apron.

Pretty ridiculous print.
Boom city.

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.

Jess's Li'l Backpack

Here's a small waxed cotton backpack I just made for my friend. 12x13.5x4 Lined with Cordura nylon.



Nylon reinforced bottom.
Back pad doubles as magazine pocket.
Pretty cute.

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!
