TaiChi Fan Pouch

TaiChi Fan Pouch
For some time now I wanted to have a pouch for my TaiChi fans. Now I finally made it and learnt some new things about leather working like edge processing :-)

The pouch is made out of a black piece of leather and it is closed simply with a flap. There is a strap at the backside to fasten it to another bag or to a carrying strap.

Completed: 2015

Status: I used the pouch a lot. Sadly I lost it on a beautiful sunny day in the park after practising TaiChi :-(

TaiChi Sword’s Hilt

TaiChi Sword's Hilt
This was my very first try at fitting leather to a sword’s hilt. I had a little help from my sweetheart for that :-)
At first we soaked the leather and then spread it in its wet state around the hilt an sewed it together.
The hard part is to look after it while drying so that it won’t shrink too much in its length.

It does not leave much to desire for a first try :-)

Completed: 2015

Status: The sword is in constant use and the leather is holding pretty well :-)

TaiChi Dragon Shirt

TaiChi Dragon Shirt
This shirt is airy and roomy and can adjust itself to the flowing movements of TaiChi. The collar can be closed with a little button, but the very low-cut slit remains open.
On the back there is a big grey stiched-on chinese dragon with a bright yellow eye.

From now on, this shirt is my new favorite TaiChi-Klamotte :-)
