Hi folks,

Today I got crazy and decided to make an iPhone case with sew on tag (label).

This meant to be a gift for my sister and she is a huge fan of Star Wars theme.

Most icon character is Darth and I decided to make it with my new Amy Roke pricking irons

in size 8 spi and Barbour thread 18/3 in natural colour. To be honest I should to choose 18/4 as

it's looks much better with those irons.

To find a picture, print it out, transfer it on the leather, punch through, saddle stitch, crease all the

lines around and finish edges in aluminium colour took me almost 3 hours which is not bad at all.

There is a pad on the inside cut from soft nappa skin. This will give more 3d look on the final item.

So tomorrow need to prepare a case-pouch for the phone and to stitch this on top.

P.S.: It's raining. Again.

Aleks from London
