Finally broke my hiatus. I posted this somewhere else at some point but might as well add it here :)

Long story short, I have a majorly lego obsessed friend and I like trying to make things for personal gifts but how do you combine lego and leather? Then I got such a silly idea in my head, what about a little belt holster for the lego brick removal tool?

So I made a paper mockup followed by a draft version in leather to check for fit. Once I was happy I formalised my pattern on my computer, making some updates (add the belt loop and keyring tab) and made the final version.

I was really happy with it, came out as I hoped. When he worked out what it was he was so happy with it, genuinely loved it and wants to bring it with him to a big lego convention in Denmark later this year.

I’ve even had a few comments from people urging me to put this into production as a fun gift idea for lego lovers! Pics below.

I’ve also done some other little projects to get me back in the habit, moved my working space downstairs onto the dining table in this heat and been making a few things for my sharp tools to protect them. Also currently working on an iteration of a needle case I made a long time ago, its another friend’s birthday tomorrow and she loves cross-stitch, so I thought this would be a nice thing. I’ll post it when I’ve finished it.
