Alex: When I post photos of the completed project, I will show it from several views. Also, if you would like the pattern, I will gladly share it. The pieces for the keycase, that is, not the carving pattern.

Kate, yes, I'm just interested in seeing the construction methods and the keycase pattern. Thanks in advance for sharing! :)

Finally got this finished... here are the photos of the finished project.

Clay: You are too modest, my friend, but to put it in more modest terms, I like your work with acrylics enough to try to emulate what you do. Thanks so much for all you have shared! Also, you might notice that I shaped up some of the junctions, but also missed a couple. I'll work a little harder on that next time.

Alex: Hopefully, this will give you an idea of how the case is put together. The keeper has to be placed through its slot on the back side, then the rivets set, before the back and front are sewn together. I'll be happy to provide more detail if you need it.

Thanks again for the helpful and encouraging comments, everyone.

Kate

Kate, how is the strap attached? does it go under and come all the way up to the snap and is "riveted with the snap? Or is it sewn into the edge? Or is there a rivet or something under the strap that we cannot see?

The latter. It slides freely between one end, where the snap is set, and the other, where the keyring is riveted.

A great piece M'Lady Kate

Could you please post the dimensions of the case? I just need the width and height that you used. My daughter likes the case and wants a Tigger design.

I can do you one better... PM me with your email address, and I'll email you the pattern (minus the artwork).

My thanks Kate. I almost had it right from your pics. I scaled the keyring and adjusted from there. Mine would have been a little smaller. Again, great work and thanks for the pattern.

Keep Smilin
