Materials List
- 1/4 yard (vegan/faux) leather
-
1/4 yard quilt batting
-
1/4 yard thin cotton for backing
-
1/4 yard lining fabric
- 12" zipper (I couldn’t find one this length that I liked so I used a much longer one, but you can trim it to fit)
- 3/4" D ring
-
optional: scrap interfacing
-
Sewing Essentials (scissors, pins, etc.)
Instructions
-
Cut 2 pieces of backing fabric approximately 14" x 7". Using a quilting ruler, draw a 1" diagonal grid (45 degrees from the edge of the fabric).
-
Cut 2 pieces each of quilt batting and leather the same size as the backing (14" x 7") Sandwich a layer of quilt batting between the wrong sides of the leather and the backing material. Use a spray adhesive or glue stick to keep the layers together.
-
Use your lines as a guide, and quilt all the layers together. Trim rectangles to 13" x 6"
-
Cut 2 more rectangles (13" x 6") out of the lining material. Cut leather for the strap: 1 piece 2" x 2", 1 piece 14" x 2". My leather was quite thin so I added some interfacing to the strap pieces.
-
Fold under the raw edges of the strap pieces by 1/4". Fold in half. I use glue stick to keep the strap together while I stitch (don’t use pins that can poke a hole in the leather). Stitch both long ends.
-
Thread the short piece through the D ring and baste the raw ends together.
