Home made 055 sleeve (2 pictures)

[Mirror-Saw]

Updated with better+1 more pictures:

I made a sleeve for my 055 sometime last week out of leather from an old jacket. I cut a small strip of leather, folded it, glued the edges and started hand sewing it with some very thick thread.

I like the 055 but man is it ever small. I often worry it will slip right out of my pocket and i wont even notice it's gone. Of course as soon as i finished the sleeve i relised i should have made it a tad bit bigger so that i could attatch an eyelet and lanyard so that i can just lash it to myself or wear it on my neck without worry... I guess i'll be making more of these.

Thanks

I'll update this, shine up the brass a little and take less yellowy photos when i'm not so lazy. As for the thread, all i can make out is "Majestic glazed" it's an old wooden spool that i think belonged to my grandmother. It's strong as all hell though.

Edit: It's sunday, i might as well take better pictures now, there's nothing better to do.

Sounds like "carpet thread".
