We were going to visit family abroad and the day before we were heading to the airport, I realised that I should have made something as a gift. Couple of weeks back I made a template for a simple key holder that I was planning to give out as a Christmas present. I had a stroke of genius: I’ll make couple of those before we leave, and our family abroad can do some field testing before I make more of them! This way I will know if the design actually works, and they get a nice little gift.
I spent couple of hours cutting and preparing the leather, and then sewed the edges in the evening. I even 3D printed stamps that I could use on my fly press and personalise the holders.
Overall, a very quick project and it even looks good in my opinion! Now it is left to be seen if the design actually works.
