iPad Pro sleeve

[Shed]

An iPad Pro case with Apple pencil holder. Came about when my brother said he was going to spent £150 on the official Apple case... so I said I would make it for only £145 

Veg Tan goat lined with Pigskin, dyed 'Royal blue'. Came out a bit streakier than intended, but my brother thought it was a pattern, so of course, it is. The stitching seems to look much worse on camera than in real life, though I maybe should have hammered it a bit flatter. The design is blatantly nicked from Apple. A fairly floppy case but should give plenty of protection. I was super impressed with the edges, with a bit of gum trag they came up as shiny as a normal veg tan. 

The photos aren't from the best angles, since I forgot to take any so got my brother to do them instead.

Any critiques/ comments much appreciated.

Nice! I have the same problem with dye sometimes. What kind did you use?

I haven't tried dip dying yet though. Suppose I should haha.

Thanks! And I use Fieblings Pro dye. Yeah, dip dye seems to be the way to avoid streakiness. Another thing to a add to the 'learn how to do' list!

Indeed, I used Angelus Jade last time I had a problem. But I was using a dauber so, should be expected to some degree. I haven't used many colors from feibings. I usually stick to the browns and tans n such

Dip dying is a good idea. I will sometimes use an airbrush but I find if I go in a circular motion instead of straight lines, I don't get as streaky of a job.

 

You could have "beefed" up the protection factor by putting a liner of foam between the liner and the outside. I use kitchen drawer liner on some of my items. It's about 1/8" thick and soft so you can double it up if you want/need to.
