On a similar style bag, I skived the long edge and folded under for a clean finish and some extra firmness along the zipper. Quote

You need to consider the thickness of the leather and allow for it when marking your folds. Make the fold lines/cuts outside of the actual width of the piece by the thickness of the leather. 1/8 leather- the fold is 1/8 outside of the actual edge. You LOOK as though you are measuring the leather to actually fold up at the edge of the box. I changed the design of the bag and made it bigger in the 1st picks it was going to be folded but now it will be a gusset Quote
