Handmade envelope style laptop case using vegetable tanned leather with a single silver stud button closure.
Process:
The laptop case is made using one piece of natural veg tanned leather.
Designed the pattern and made a prototype with muslin cloth for a perfect fit.
Clean cut with sharp rotary knife. Corners were pre punched to prevent tearing.
Pattern cut and ready for dyes.
Dye the whole piece with leather dye in color “evening blue” from TandyLeather.

Scribe the stitching line. Punch holes for stitching.
Be careful.
Punch a hole and attach the hardware
Place a lining to cover the end of the button from the inside to prevent it from scratching laptop face.
