0007 - Chestnut Dakota Valet Case

« 0006 - Burgundy Dakota Kindle Case 0008 Burgundy Dakota Long Wallet »


This was a present for a friend, something he should hopefully be able to get some use out of. It was the second time making this design and it went smoothly. The only thing I would have liked to change was making the top layer “thinner” so that it was easier to set the rivets. All in all, it’s a simple design that is easy to put together. My stitching was a lot better on this one which was good.

Lessons

  • Should have skived the corners where the rivets were going, would have made it easier to place them.
