G'day peeps,
My trial for my sunglasses case. It's just $h!^^ leather, but I wanted to have a go before I move onto more expensive leather. I'm happy with how this looks (for a trial). I'm happy with how my stitching is getting along. It's lined... and the lining all kinda 'just works'. The waxed edging I recokon is great! the leather lined clip is fun to do, and looks a million bucks.
I've seen some of 'youse' do really sick edging... any tips? cause mine kinda suck. It's got a waxed edge, so could I use edge paint on that... also I've got vedge tanned on the outside and chrome tanned on the inside (for the liner), I reckon that's a mistake for 'main event'.
Criticism and feedback welcome and invited.
Just to add what hasn't already been said by Fadi:

Yes, get more hours of practice in. Use scraps, practice on different leathers and build up your skill through repetition. Boring answer but true.

Not a mistake, however you may notice that the cut edge on the chrome tanned side doesn't burnish as well as the veg tan side. If this is an issue, edge paint (without wax) would finish the edges a little more consistently.
