Maybe a puppy will help , too . <| sep |> What the hell happened in the UK ? !<| sep |> Anyone here read the Aliens comics ? There actually is an aliens civil war in them ! <| sep |> Couple of thoughts on what went wrongThe gusset . I underestimated how much the gusset would stiffen from glueing lining to exterior . It popped up the glue , and trying to hold it all together while using an awl was far from easy . I think a thicker front and back , a softer gusset , or skived and wetformed gusset edges could have avoided this . The flap somehow ended up being way to long , and since I had already punched all stitch holes , shortening it was doomed . You can see the stitching going dangerously close to the edge where I trimmed . I plan on attaching a decorative leather band along the edge to cover that up , but it ' ll have to wait . And then of course a less than perfect construction meant less than perfect edges . Thankfully not that noticeable IRL unless you look for it . Overall I ' m really happy with it though , and would love to hear any thoughts , critiques and advice you might have .
