      Really bloody expensive colored pencils, but they do the trick.  Here's a link:

      Thanks again for the comments.  There is some great work in this thread, well done everyone!

          Good question!  The short answer is anywhere from 50-200+.  It depends on the softness of the lead and how I am using them (over the oil pastel is easier on the pencil, getting that spiral effect is hard on the pencil, covering large areas of thick paper is hard on the pencil, etc.). And then there are the oil pastels which wear down much faster, so I go through at least 10 per project, 20+ on the larger ones.  But it mostly depends on the size and thickness of the paper, and how far I want to take it.

            Made this today… Selvedge red white and blue flannel with blue overdye bandana. About 20''x20''... not a perfect square. Sewn on a Singer 401a circa 1958

            Messed up on the stitching on one spot and had to make another line.  and on one edge I had to triple stitch it and it kinda looks uneven, but overall I'm pretty satisfied

                Depends on how nice I think the fabric is. I think I will make them from 10-30 USD. For pocket squares… Something like 10-20 bucks or so. Do people even like pocket squares?? Not something I have ever seen in my Podunk ass town

                As for availability ... I need more fabric and probably a bit more practice. Samples swatches are en route.  Bought a presser foot that rolls the edge for you but couldn't figure out how to work it. I think I like the look of a hand rolled edge anyway, even if it is a little uneven

                        BIG thanks to corporalclegg for making me a seriously beefy passport wallet and some lighter holders(thanks to Scrogen, MikeC, lando for showing me). Will most likely be having him make my next wallet.

                          I finished some custom work on my new sidearm and got some new cards, so i made a matching wallet/holster set. I love working with kydex.

                                Your kydex card case is sweet!  How many cards will it hold and does it have to stay full to retain the cards?

                                  Thanks 'shine. It holds about four business cards and four credit card sized cards. I basically just carry my drivers license, debit card, hunting license and insurance cards so it all fits nicely. It will not retain a single card, but as long as there's a bit of friction it holds onto them alright.

                                            How does the pencil hold up over time. Does it fade or stay fairly bright?
