Given that my iPad is one of few things I can’t function without, it was about time I gave it the royal treatment. Inspired by Stella McCartney‘s iconic Falabella bag, I whipped up a chain trimmed leather sleeve perfect for my favorite gadget! This tutorial is a great way to learn a super simple hand stitching technique which can also then be applied to other leather wares. Have I piqued your interest yet?
You’ll need:
- leather iPad sleeve
- 30 inches of stainless steel curb chain
- 5 yards of waxed linen cord (last used here & here)
- all purpose rotary punch (last used here)
- an embroidery needle
- wire cutters or bolt cutter (optional)
- scissors
