Article: A stitch line allows you to keep your stitches straight. To create the stitch lines you will need a pencil and a ruler. Use a ruler to draw a straight horizontal line 1 inch from the top of the belt loopbegin and end the line inch from each side. This will be the bottom stitch line. Place your pencil on the right end of the horizontal line. Moving your pencil towards the top of the belt loop, draw a 1 inch straight vertical line. Repeat on the left side. Connect to the vertical lines with a straight horizontal line. To ensure even stitches, it is beneficial to mark the stitches before puncturing the leather. Run a damp rag over the stitch line to wet the leather slightly. Use an awl, a sharp pointed tool, to mark the first stitch in the lower left corner of the stitch line. Place one spoke of an overstitch wheel, a wheel with sharp points used to mark even stitching holes, in the hole you created with the awl. Rotate the overstitch wheel along the stitch line to create a series of evenly spaced dots along the stitch lines. Lay the sheath on a piece of woodthe wood prevents the drill or awl from puncturing your work surface. Individually puncture each hole with a drill bit or an awl by inserting the tool through the leather and into the wood. When using a drill, create the holes with a 1/16 inch drill bit. The belt loop attaches directly to the soft side of the leather. You will attach the belt loop with glue and stitches. In order for glue to adhere to the leather, you must roughen up the leather at the points of attachment. Hold the belt 2 inches from the top of the leather strap and fold the belt loop inch above its base towards the soft side of the leather. Use a pencil to trace the top 2 inches of the leather strap to indicate where the belt loop will attach to the sheath. Roughen up the attachment site with sandpaper, a utility knife, or a wood rasp. Using your tool of choice, carefully score the top 2 inches of the belt loop and the area inside the pencil markings on the sheath. Coat the attachment sites with a fine layer of contact cement glue. Put the sheath aside and allow the glue to cure. When it feels dry to the touch, you are ready to proceed. Dampen the leather at the fold of the belt loop with a spray bottle. Fold the belt loop and align the attachment sites. Press down on the attachment site firmly. Lay the unfolded sheath on top of a piece of wood. Use a drill or an awl to individually re-puncture the belt loop's existing stitch holes. Make sure the drill or awl goes through both layers of leather and into the wood. To attach the belt loop to the sheath, you will need waxed thread and two needles. Cut a length of waxed thread that is 5 times longer than the stitch line. Thread one needle on each end of the thread. To prevent the thread from slipping out, pull one inch of thread through the eye and bend it. Insert one needle (needle A) into the stitch hole in the top left corner. Pull the needle through the hole until you an even amount of thread on each side of the sheath. The other needle (needle B) will remain on the opposite side. Insert needle A through the next stitch hole (move to right) and pull it through. Needle A is now on the same side as needle B. Insert needle B into the same hole and pull it through. Needles A and B are now on opposite sides. Pull tightly on the thread to create a tight stitch. Repeat this process, until you return to the first stitch hole. Create 1 more forward stitch. Individually insert the needles into opposite sides of the first stitch hole and pull through. Create 2 backwards stitches. Reverse the direction of the stitches. Individually insert the needles into opposite sides of the last stitch, followed by the second to last stitch hole. Insert the needle on the inside of the sheath (the flesh side) through the third stitch hole. Needles A and B are both on the outside of the sheath. Trim the ends close to the leather. Use a lighter to melt the threads in the second and third to last stitch holes.

Put your hemp garments and linens on the gentle or delicate cycle and use a soap that is mild, made of all-natural, and gentle on fabric. Delicate hemp pieces may be placed in a lingerie bag before putting them in the washing machine to help protect them. It's fine to wash hemp that's already been washed before at any temperature in the washing machine. If it's been dyed, it's probably a good idea to wash it in cold water to avoid any color leeching. You may add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help remove all traces of soap and to soften the hemp. Vinegar also removes any smells from the hemp, leaving it smelling clean. It will not leave a vinegar smell once it has dried. After washing hemp, it's a good idea to air dry it. If you must heat dry it, avoid using the highest heat setting and remove it before the item has been thoroughly dried. Line-drying in the sun can have a tendency of lightening hemp slightly, which can be a desirable thing in some items, or you might want to maintain the natural color of the hemp. Depending on what you want, you might want to make sure that it stays out of the sun too much.
