I am a novice Xiaobai crying and begging not to spray.
Let me first talk about why I know that there are tigers in the mountains, but I have to enter the pit. The reason is that I watched the original film "A Gift for the Queen-Hand-stitched leather long wallet".
My blood boils, I can't sleep at night, chicken jelly. Thinking about it, I can be regarded as a person with strong hands-on ability, and I can handle things at home by beating and sewing. The key is that this small bag is really beautiful. I decided to enter the pit, and I have no hesitation, and my wife also supports it (she also wants this bag, which cannot be bought outside, boo).
broke into a certain treasure overnight, it’s cheating, it just happened to be the 11.11 hand-cutting festival, and the speed of express delivery - no - slow delivery made me want to pick it up. After n days of waiting, I finally got the leather and tools. In retrospect, I am still very happy I bought good leather (imported vegetable tanned leather)
, because poor leather still hurts the confidence of novices.
Fortunately, before receiving the goods, I have practiced sewing with bare hands, watched a lot of video and picture tutorials, and have a little theoretical foundation, so I can start combining theory with practice immediately after getting the leather and tools.
Let me start with a simple one: the keychain
It took more than half an hour to finally get it done, although it was a bit crooked (the hand-painted drawings were not accurate enough), but the effect was good, my family was shocked, and the voice of praise overwhelmed me. Novice Xiaobai, my family and I are very easy to satisfy. Then he immediately sewed a pony for his son with the broken leather given by the store,
the one with a ponytail, the son rejoiced after getting it; the daughter was not convinced that the gift was not there The vision will last for 8 years, and now my daughter is 8 years old and my son is 6 years old), I immediately sewed a Winnie the Pooh for her (I saved the copyright fee), and the effect is also very good (it should be sheepskin or pigskin, very thin, I don’t know how to deal with it, so I won’t deal with it).
The two of them ended up circling around my poop like flies for an hour. Don’t talk nonsense, it’s already 10 o’clock in the evening at this time. With the self-confidence bursting, I carefully counted the tools and leather materials. I feel that it’s enough to be the “hand-stitched leather long wallet” of the idol on this website. I hesitate After 1 minute, he decided to start working. Because the first time I was still worried about becoming a waste product, I didn’t take pictures in the middle (a little regret). The next day was Sunday, and my heart suddenly became bigger. It’s okay to do it later. First draw the drawings by hand, the size has no error, and start to cut the skin (the process is not shown)........As the hour hand moves one by one, I looked up and saw the white belly (in fact, the opposite is the high-level, I can’t even see the white bird’s belly), and the work in hand is almost done, so I decided to finish the bag before my wife got up. So I have been working non-stop from 10 o'clock in the evening to 10 o'clock in the morning, 12 hours, just for a "praise" from my wife (it's not easy for a man). My wife saw my work when I got up together (for now, let’s talk about it, don’t spray it), she was so excited that she almost rushed over (I’m tired after walking away), she also woke up the two children, looking at it with surprise Looking at my work, although there are many flaws, I am also very satisfied with the completion of 98%. At noon, I had a dinner with my friends, and she decided to show it off. Unexpectedly, my friend said that I bought it, and it immediately made me feel confident again. What I want is your words.
Now recall my 12-hour non-stop production process and experience (I didn’t take pictures during the process, I can only describe it in words)
1. Killing at night will not only cause internal conflicts among the people, but also deepen external conflicts. I feel like I came to my house to make a complaint. I can't stand it. It's like a criminal fleeing outside when he hears the siren. The guilt is always emerging.
2. You can’t blindly seek success, and you must not finish it in one go. It will definitely affect the quality of the work. In the end, in order to catch up with the work, I polished, stitched, and trimmed it all became very rough. It's too hairy, I'll do it again when I have time. When you usually work, you should set a time for yourself to finish work. It should not affect the work and study of the next day. It is not good to stay up late even if the next day is a rest day. Don’t base your hobbies on the basis of sacrificing your health.
3. Wash your hands before suturing (especially the white thread), keep the same sewing technique and moderate strength, and do not change it for lessThe thread pulls the thread too long. In short, the longest length should not exceed the length of the two hands.
4. In terms of tool selection, it doesn’t matter if you want to temporarily enter the pit. If you want to dig a deep pit, you should choose imported tools. It’s really different. If you use too much force, it will be over the head, and the durability will be much worse. It is better to use imported ones in one step.
5. A work can take as little as ten hours or as long as dozens of hours. It is really necessary to choose the leather material well, and it is best to reserve a little more. Buy it in place at one time, and buy it twice to avoid color difference.
6. Metal hardware should also be selected well. The so-called copper fasteners given to me by a certain treasure are all made of iron, and they are so thin that they can scratch your fingers. It will be troublesome if they rust in the future.
felt that his hands started to itch again for two days (I am getting older, and the speed of blood growth is too slow), because the last time I bought a long wallet in a certain treasure that was cut out of crazy horse leather,
will follow up I haven't got the goods yet, so I decided to make this wallet first. The cutting edge of the machine is indeed neat, but the crazy horse leather is not my style. I don't know if it is bad leather or crazy horse leather. , it does not have the texture of vegetable tanned leather. In the end, I sewed five layers together. It’s a scam, the tendons are almost broken. In fact, accordion pleats should be added, but there is no extra leather, so I can only sew 5 in 1. But the sewing is not bad, and the cuts are not too many and the ones are not (the cuts are made twice, it is not easy for novices to match), it is the garbage digger that allows me to dig the grooves on the back Blind, it's a pity, the lesson is profound (you can argue with the domestic ones, please). The zipper was ripped from my old jacket, just right, happy upcycling. I really don't know how to deal with the edge of the crazy horse skin, so I don't deal with it. My wife said that the edge of this bag is much better than the first one (I didn't tell her that this bag was cut and bought by the store, boo). It took 4 hours to complete, much more proficient than the first time.
Crazy Horse Leather Long Wallet Production Summary:
1. For beginners, Crazy Horse Leather is better than Crazy Horse Leather. It is more difficult to handle, and it is not as sticky as vegetable tanned leather. CMC is as sticky as it is uncoated (it is estimated to be No need to paint), my edges have not been processed until now, and the sanding is useless, it is still the same. Need technical re-learning to improve.
2. Overlay sewing should be limited to three layers or less (unless the leather is very thin), it is very painful if there are too many layers.
3. Be careful when digging the groove. Once it is damaged, it is difficult to remedy it. It may be possible to remedy it after cutting the edge and grinding it. If the groove is crooked, it will be troublesome. If it is broken, you can only change the skin, which is a lot of trouble and a lot of money. Novices still don't dig grooves. The second day after the
long crazy horse leather wallet was finished, I thought I could try Bottega Veneta’s woven leather (my heart is getting bigger and bigger), and I decided to make a key case. It took me half a day to draw , I don’t know CAD, so I can only use excel to print the grid, then adjust it by 45 degrees, and put it in the long grid. But there is no knitting chop at home, not even a word chop, don't be afraid, let's make one by ourselves. I found a pair of tweezers, the width of the tail is just 1cm, and there are whetstones ranging from 200 to 2000 at home, and I started to sharpen it immediately, and it was done in 10 minutes. Since the weaving key case itself was prepared to be practiced and tested, I cut the old leather clothes at home and used them. It turned out that the leather clothes in a well-known leather market in the country were all faulty. I cut a hole and tore it. It’s as easy as tearing gauze. Is this real leather? (Please allow me to curse), I only found out halfway through the work. Tear, fortunately, I am mentally prepared to be just a decoration. The compilation was really exhausting, and at the end of the compilation, I was dizzy and had an intensive phobia attack. After more than an hour, the knitting was finally completed. Please allow me to describe it as amazing, and then glued the back leather (continue to use garbage leather), and finally finished at 23:30, which took 4 hours (not counting previous drawing). It can be regarded as a work that can only be seen from a distance but not played with. It is a one-off. If anyone buckles the two buttons of this work, it will be considered as the end of life. I can't play well with the female mouth of the 633 snap button. It always hits crookedly. I don't know what the problem is.
continue to write experience:
1. The important thing is to say three times, to choose the right leather, to choose the right leather, to choose the right leather, the work that takes a lot of time and energy cannot be destroyed on the raw materials, remember
2. You must think carefully before sewing or pasting In order, this key case is because I started too fast. I regretted it as soon as I glued it on the back. I forgot to sew the key lining leather first. Fortunately, it is a one-time work, so it doesn’t matter.
3. The position of the snap button needs to be confirmed again There is only one chance to punch, and if you make a mistake, it will be very troublesome.
finally concluded that the pit is still the pit, but there are many interesting treasures waiting for you to develop. After entering the pit, single dogs may have a chance (it’s good to give him or her, it’s a customized limited edition), married Great dogs will also enhance the relationship between husband and wife, and big dogs who are married and have children will make children like you more. But the premise is that they don’t affect them and don’t take up their time when making it. The husband and wife should continue to maintain a regular and quantitative task of exchanging public food (I don’t tell ordinary people)
. Finally, pay attention to protecting the cervical spine and other joints. In the second half of the month,
plans to make a watch strap (apple watch or Tissot), a lady's Cambridge bag (again for his wife, flattering), and hope that the level of craftsmanship can be improved.
