Man About Town
Fledgling craftsman, preening dandy and man about town.
Here I shall post pictures of things that delight me and poor quality photographs of works in progress and shamelessly encourage you to buy them.

I’m in the process of making a massive bag, using two Continental mountain bike tyres. The outer two strips still have the kevlar beading, I’m not sure whether the added rigidity will be a help or a hinderence.
It’s a pain in the arse when I measure out the lengths to cut them at, but they don’t match up once I’ve stitched them together.
I’ve a design for a pannier/satchel floating about in my head- possibly scribbled down somewhere. This will be the prototype.
January was a write off, but now I’m getting back into making things again. Here’s a saddle bag I just finished. Slightly experimental with an overlap between the two tyres rather than a pinch (these are made up technical terms). I also have the treads reversed (Something I probably won’t do again as it opens asymmetrically).
Not quite done yet, but getting there.
This hot piece is on etsy too!
This is on Etsy now!

I’ve sold this one already, but do commissions.
I went for a bag, because I got a buyer for it immediately.
Being productive rules!
Belts up on my facebook.
When I get the energy I shall pop them on etsy and folksy.
Settling in to stitch alot of Spare Tyre Belts this evening. The question is whether to watch a film or a series.
