Great song - also is a local - forever.

The driveway engineering didn’t hold and I’m glad it happened now - so I can replant before the winter 🫶🙏

Hecho! My first belt ever, now lined and studded 🤘

- solid brass (np) buckle
- veg tan front & back
- old ass studs I got at an Austin thrift store find 😂

Not done, done - but for personal items / projects when is something ever really done? 🤨

Decided not to stitch this one (after putting a row of stitching holes near the tip 😬) — but the glue will hold and I didn’t want to overdo it. Also, I wanted to start wearing it, so it will likely just get touch up burnishing here and there.

Progress update -

Studs and conchos are set.

Navy vegtan backing glued (about 98% :/ ) and cut, still needs edge work. Then it’s just stitching and hardware 🫠🖤

Update on this old guy.

It’s taking me longer than expected to make a stud design and set the studs and conchos…

I’m thinking navy vegtan for the lining and navy thread 🪡 🧵
