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.
