    Hi guys

    It was a long time since I wanted to do that. Try to make a strap from A to Z for my speedy. I chose some ostrich and emerald goat leather to do the lining. Here's the result. Of course it could be better. But it could also be much worse.
    It'as hand stitched. The is the hardest part, to stitch straight. I think the ostrich skin looks really find on a speedy. What do you think?

    Very nicely done. The ostrich skin indeed looks great and it has an unusual pattern to it. :thumbsup:

    Thanks Huus, I appreciate. I you noticed, this is the part of the skin that has not feathers dots. It'as quite thin so the lining is more than necessary.
