Leather fox pouch

I bought this [1] pattern to make a fox leather pouch to a friend of mine. I made some modifications to the pattern to make it more how I like it.

I used Veg-tanned Bellies 5oz leather for this project.

The steps

The laser machine is not involved at all in this project. Stamp each hole is a time consuming pleasure.

Beavel all the edges.

Dye the leather and add a layer of shene. This time I used a black alcohol pen for the edges and then applied transparant edge color.

Sewing. Start with the nose.

Instead of attach the band right to the sides of the pouch, I used D-rings instead.

Sewing is done. Just trim edges and final refinements left.

I hid the rivet for the tail inside of the tail. It looks nicer. Hope it will last.
