1. LAMINATE THE PIECE OF LEATHER
Apply leather contact glue to the back of the 20 x 30 cm piece. Allow the glue to soak in and fold the piece in half. Flatten the bonding with a steel pressure roller.

 |
2. Cut out part P2
Cut out part P2 from this piece of laminated leather. Cut the rounds into quarters.
 |
 |
Sand the slices with an abrasive sponge. Optional: work the edges of the flap with an edge finish. 
3. Topstitch P2
Topstitch all around piece P2 except the straight line which will be sewn on piece P1.
4. Cut out part P1
Cut piece P1 twice from the woolen sheepskin. Trace the pattern on the back of the leather and cut with a pair of scissors.
 |
 |
Rub the skin to remove any hair that has been cut. 
5. Install the female part of the clasp
Take one of the pieces P1 and make a hole in the location provided on the pattern. Then, attach the top magnetic rivet or snap button clasp.
6. Sew flap P2 onto P1
Place masking tape where provided on the pattern for the flap seam line. The ribbon will make it easier to sew on the hairs.
 |
 |
Sew the flap P2 onto one of the pieces P1. 
Remove the tape.
 |
 |
7. Prepare the seam
To make the next seams easier, we cut and removed the hairs. Cut, with a pair of scissors, the hairs of the sheepskin leather by 1 cm all around the two pieces P1. Using masking tape, hold the hairs back to clear the seam line (so the hairs do not get in the way while sewing).
 |
 |
Then, put masking tape on the 4 sides of the back of pieces P1.
 |
 |
8. Sew the body of the bag
Sew the two pieces P1 together, right sides together, 5 mm from the edge. Sew all the way around except the top length.
 |
 |
9. Cut out the lining pieces
Cut piece P1 twice from the fabric lining.
10. Sew the lining
Assemble the two pieces P1 lining right sides together. Then, sew except for one length.
Leave an opening of 8 cm on the second length so that you can turn the pouch over at the end.
 |
 |
11. Sew the lining with the leather
Take the woolen pouch and turn it over.
 |
 |
Leave the masking tapes on the shearling. They will be removed later.
Insert the woolen pouch into the lining, right sides together. Position the flap between the lining and the shearling (hair side) so that it is not sewn. Hold edge to edge with sewing clips.
 |
 |
Then, sew all around the top of the pocket at 5 mm. 
Turn the pouch inside out through the 8 cm opening in the lining.
 |
 |
Remove the masking tape. 
12. Close the lining
Sew the 8 cm opening to close the lining.
 |
 |
13. Attach accessories
Make 3 mm holes on flap P2. 
Screw in the two collar buttons with ring. 
Then, insert the strap into the collar button rings and secure with rivets.
 |
 |
Attach the other part of the top magnetic clasp or snap button to the flap.
 |
 |
You have finished !
