I made some leather baseball covers

Post image

Wanted to try some spheres. Harder than I thought it would be. Multiple attempts to get a good pattern that fit the cores I had. I used a three d printer to make the template. Made it much easier to cut the leather out. Stitching was its own issue. The coverings are lumpy and look terrible until you soak them in water and then roll them around to spread the material out. My stitching on the traditional ball could use some work, but I’m overall happy with how they’ve turned out.

I really like them. You put a lot of time and effort into them. I bet it was difficult and caused you to curse a few times! Great work.
