Video
1. Laminate the piece of leather
Apply leather contact adhesive to the back of the 20 x 30 cm piece. Allow the adhesive to soak in and fold the piece in half. Flatten the bond with a steel pressure roller.
|
 |
2. Cut out part P2
Cut out piece P2 from this piece of bonded leather. Cut the rounded edges into quarters.
 |
 |
Sand the edges with an abrasive sponge. Optional: finish the edges of the flap with an edge finish. 
3. Make the topstitch of P2
Topstitch all around piece P2 except the straight line which will be sewn onto piece P1.
4. Cut out part P1
Cut out piece P1 twice from the sheepskin. Trace the pattern onto the back of the leather and cut with a pair of scissors.
 |
 |
Rub the skin to remove any hair that has been cut. 
5. Place the female part of the clasp
Take one of the P1 pieces and make a hole in the location indicated on the pattern. Then, place the magnetic top clasp to rivet or snap button.
6. Sew flap P2 onto P1
Place masking tape where indicated on the pattern for the flap seam line. The tape will make it easier to sew over the pile.
 |
 |
Sew the flap P2 onto one of the pieces P1. 
Remove the tape.
 |
 |
7. Prepare the seam
To make the next seams easier, we trimmed and removed the hair. Using scissors, cut the sheepskin hair 1 cm around both P1 pieces. Using masking tape, hold the hair back to clear the seam line (so that the hair does not get in the way while sewing).
 |
 |
Then, put masking tape on the 4 sides of the back of the P1 pieces.
 |
 |
8. Sew the body of the bag
Sew the two P1 pieces together, right sides together, 5 mm from the edge. Sew all the way around except the top length.
 |
 |
9. Cut out the lining pieces
Cut out piece P1 twice from the fabric lining.
10. Sew the lining
Join the two P1 lining pieces right sides together. Then, sew except for one length.
Leave an 8 cm opening on the second length so that you can turn the pocket over at the end.
 |
 |
11. Sew the lining with the leather
Take the woolen pouch and turn it inside out.
 |
 |
Leave the masking tape on the fur. It will be removed later.
Insert the fleece pouch into the lining, right sides together. Position the flap between the lining and the fleece (hair side) so that it is not sewn. Hold the edge to the edge with sewing clips.
 |
 |
Then, come and sew all around the top of the pocket at 5 mm. 
Turn the pouch inside out through the 8cm opening in the lining.
 |
 |
Remove the masking tape. 
12. Close the lining
Sew the 8 cm opening to close the lining.
 |
 |
13. Attach the accessories
Make the 3 mm holes on the P2 flap. 
Screw on the two collar buttons with ring. 
Then, insert the strap into the collar button rings and secure with rivets.
 |
 |
Attach the other part of the magnetic top clasp or snap button to the flap.
 |
 |
You're done!
