Rock 'n' Roll Collar

Its been 2 weeks as I have been away, also fostering a new dog which takes up a bit of time and back at work (booo).

This was another collar that I made, a bit by accident really. On ebay you can get some studs from China and I thought I would get them as they are cheep and try them out. I was impressed, nice colours and cuts through the leather dead easily. My only issue would be that when Beau scratches the paint may come off. 

Beau's Bow Tie

After my last attempt I decided to make another. I really like it but this time used my 201k. Amazing is how I would describe this machine, goes through anything like butter.

My issue with this latest creation is the bow, it is not heigh enough so you cant really see the amazing job i did on the corners of the collar. Again still doesn't fit even though its smaller than the last one. 

306k Dog Collar

One of the main reasons for buying a 306k was to use with leather. I have moaned for years about wanting to sew leather and thought I would need an industrial machine, but after some research I decided that a vintage singer would do the job. I liked the 306k as it has fashion disks to play with.

My first project was this dog collar for Beau, dead easy to make as it was made to measure (but a bit big still) martingale collar. 

I made some mistakes and the machine missed a few stitches, but other that that I am very pleased.
