I wanted to use up whatever I had left of my buffalo leather hide. I also wanted to maintain the contours of the hide. I laid the hide out on the floor, and started folding it in different ways to see how I would form the shape. Used some double sided tape to hold it in place as I hand stitched. (I really should invest in a sewing machine)
Came up with this shape. Used some black satin to line the inside.
Closeup of my rough hand stitching.
I pulled the hardware from an old belt. The strap is a strip of goat skin folded over so the suede side is on the outside.
Finished product.
