That’s super cool! I’m especially curious about how you did the stitches…

This looks so good, can’t believe you pulled this off with SwiftUI! That stroke trick is insane 🙌

Thank you! (Of course my perfectionist friend called me out that the drop shadow on the stitching should really be an inner shadow but 🤫)

Really like how this all comes together, but isn’t it a bit big on screen? 😬

Nice!

I am hoping to figure out some skeumorphic icons for my slide rule app despite me having no artistic skills.

You give me hope! :-)

Robb that looks so good!

wow yes

Quick tutorial how the stitching was achieved:

- Use `strokedPath(_:)` to split the path into multiple lines, using a two-component dash array.
- Convert to a CGPath, split it into subcomponents using `componentsSeparated(using:)`.
- Apply a rotation to each line.
- Merge them back together.

To improve the effect, I added a second darker line underneath with an inverted dash array to draw the stitch holes.
