I had a lot of fun with this one, just made it on the fly. Was originally planning to just make a relatively simple one that I could use to try lining an item but it seemed a waste as the suede side was so soft. Ended up creating this, its a really simple shape and not too difficult to make. Once I start doing some skiving to reduce the thickness where the retaining bands attach and some other embellishments I think this could look really good. I want to make this exact one again but this time in a much darker leather and with a really heavily contrasting thread.

I also made this keyring the other day, lets just say it was a learning exercise... The rivet was my first one and it went wonky, cutting a tiny slot with a knife through two layers was not a fun thing and I made a bit of a pigs ear of the stitching placement. I did however enjoy making a little geometric design with my awl.
