TUTORIAL VIDEO
1. POSITION THE PATTERN PIECES
Position the pattern pieces on the leather and hold them with masking tape. The pattern is designed for an Airpods Pro 2 case (H. 4.5 cm x W. 6.1 cm x Th. 2.2 cm). Adjust the pattern dimensions (width and length) according to the size of the case you want to make.
2. MAKE HOLES FOR ACCESSORIES AND CHARGING CABLE
Punch Ø 3 mm holes for the snap fastener. Also make the opening (oblong hole) for the charging cable using a Ø 10 mm punch tool and a cutter.
3. PUNCH STITCHING HOLES
Punch Ø 1 mm stitching holes as indicated on the pattern (only for simplified stitching with pre-punched holes).
4. CUT OUT THE PIECES
Cut out the different pieces with a cutter, following the pattern lines.
5. FINISH THE EDGES
Finish the edges with the finishing of your choice. Here we opted for Tokonole.
6. STITCH THE SIDES
Glue one end of each of the two P2 tabs edge to edge, wrong side against wrong side, onto piece P1, at the central stitching points. Center the tab: one stitching point must remain visible at the top and bottom to be able to make the saddle stitches.
Stitch these two ends. The other ends will be assembled in step 8 so as not to hinder the stitching of tab P3.
SEE THE SIMPLIFIED STITCHING GUIDE >
7. STITCH TAB P3
Fold tab P3, then glue it wrong side against wrong side so that the stitching holes align. Then glue it onto the main piece, making sure the assembly direction is correct: the top of the tab should face the flap. Then stitch.
Note: this tab is optional. It simply allows you to attach your case to a bag, a belt loop, a keyring, etc.
8. GLUE AND STITCH THE ENDS
Glue, edge to edge, and stitch the other ends of tabs P2 onto the main piece, always wrong side against wrong side. Start stitching with a saddle stitch.
9. ATTACH THE SNAP FASTENER
Attach the Ø 10.5 mm snap fastener using an installation tool.
YOU'RE DONE!
All that's left is to thread the round carabiner through tab P3!

This model was made with matte Chestnut leather from our Sauvage range. This time, some adjustments:
- Approximately 1 cm extra on the flap to adapt to a Buds earbud case.
- No tab at the back: its absence facilitates opening the case and is simply not necessary.
As you can see, a pattern can be adapted according to the case and individual needs ✂️
