Great job! How did you stitch? Still need to make the cutouts for the pivoting piece on the buckle, no? I also made my first attempts this past week but used leather contact cement to bond the leather layers - Used exotic skins all lined with super soft lamb skin - check out below:
Black Emu (flightless bird like ostrich) lined with black lamb
Ostrich Leg (no feather marks and stronger) lined with beige lamb
Brown Ostrich lined with green lamb
