Leather work for J8
The mighty runner blocks!
Where the chain plate meets the shrouds.
The Dinghy Chocks. Padded and leathered.
Winch Handle Pockets designed so the handle faces the right way.
These two are strapped onto the base of the boom crutch.
B&G covers. 10 in total.
Chafe gear for the mooring lines.
Little handle holders for the hatch handles.
Blocks for the passorelle.
Computer bags, hand bags and purses.
This computer bag has an inside pouch to store your computer in and a pocket for passport and phone. On the front is another compartment for chargers, cables and
pens.
The handles are plaited and a shoulder strap was made that is also removable.
These next bags have been drawn into to create a low relief image.
On the front flap of this full size computer bag is "the Kraken" (giant squid).
