Electric blue triple Emperor

One of my Instagram followers asked me to make a triple pen case for Emperor sized pens.

I started with flat sheet materials Kydex suede and leather here is the kydex sheet marked out ready.

Using my hot air gun and a wooden form I moulded the kydex into three arch shapes.

After trimming the kydex to size I started wrapping the arches in electric blue suede.

Once the inner pen slots were finished I turned my attention to the outer cover. I soaked a piece of veg tanned leather in water and wet moulded it around another wooden form to give the desired shape.

When I was happy with the fit I applied some black dye to the leather here is my first dry fit.

When I dyed the front cover I also dyed the leather for the rear panel with front flap.

As you can see I have dry fitted the front and rear covers.

Time to bring all of the pieces together with glue and start stitching.

Once I had started stitching I made a template from grey board to give me the shape for the flap. I have not worked out a way to do this without an individual template as each case I have made is slightly different.

I still have to sand and finish the edges on this case before it leaves for its new home.

Thanks for reading.
