Please forgive the video quality as it was my first ever. Sigh.

This is an intermediate sewing pattern, though I believe most confident beginners should be able to tackle it!
I am sewing on a Juki 1541 industrial and a Juki HZL-DX7 domestic, but it can be solely done on a domestic!
Materials used: Sileather from Fabric Funhouse, custom woven canvas (unknown source), hardware (unknown sources), and zipper pulls were from Alchemats Materials & Hardware
