This pouch has been hand stitched using a beige Ritza Tiger thread a 100% braided polyester thread.
I use a saddle stitch when hand sewing leather products. There is a significant difference between a saddle stitch and a stitch done by a sewing machine. To do a saddle stitch properly takes time and expertise. This results in a beautiful more durable stitch. If a sewing machine stitch breaks the entire line of stitching is compromised. If the thread rips on a saddle stitch then only that area is compromised.
This leather item has beveled and burnished edges. A specific edge beveler (depending on the leather thickness), which has a sharp metal blade, is used to remove the square corners from the edges of the leather. This leaves a nice neat, rounded edge. After the edges are beveled, I burnish the edges, which seals and smooths the raw beveled edge. This is a two-step process, first using water and then a burnishing liquid which seals the edges so no moisture can penetrate the edges and it will last a very long time. This also take time but results is a beautiful long lasting edge.
