How Do You Stitch Like This?

This is a case made of thin leather. The stitching is on the inside. I assume you stitch it inside out then turn it inside out when you're done. There's a velvety lining, too. I tried, (gently) to turn my case inside out, but I was afraid I'd damage it/pop the stitches or something. Is there some trick to it?

The "trick" is that the pouch is sewn like you said, inside out, . . . then the liner is slipped into it (probably by a machine that forces it seriously back into the recesses of the bag and fills in the voids, . . . the liner also probably swabbed with a quick drying glue, . . . and last but not least, . . . it is stitched around the mouth.

I don't understand why you want to turn yours inside out, . . . but if you do, . . . the liner is smaller than the outside, . . . so the outside will krinkle when you do. Otherwise you would need to cut the stitches at the mouth and fish the liner out, . . . then turn the bag inside out to get to the stitches.

May God bless,

I was looking to turn it inside out to see how it's done. Mine is wearing out and I was thinking of making a replacement, rather than buying it. The one I have was not stitched around the mouth, and the liner is coming off. Also, it appears that the lining material is sewn along with the leather. See picture attached.

The projects I've turned 'inside out' were larger, but the secret was to wet them first. Wet leather will let you do all kinds of things to it that dry leather will not. A cloth liner could survive wetting, but I'm thinking you'd need a way to assure it was dried well inside when you are finished.
