A pen case kit with a resonant combination of denim fabric and leather.
For body part has been used the denim fabric made in Okayama prefecture in Japan where is known over the world as "Mecca of Denim".

1.: Prepare a piece of leather (about 5 cm width x 9 cm) and a piece of denim (about 6 cm width x 30 cm) with Spring Snap Fastener.
Here we use the LeatherCraftTools.com kit "Okayama Denim & Leather Pen Case Kit".

2.: Finish the flesh side and edge of the leather parts.

3.: Fold back about 5 mm from the end of the main body (denim part) and crimp it with Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

4.: Make it the same width as the closing flap (leather part).

5.: Fold back about 6 mm from the end of the main body (denim part) and crimp it with Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

6.: Firmly hold down the folded parts (especially the corners) with a roller, etc.

7.: Sew only one side of the folded part.
Here, it has been machine sewed with VINYMO <MBT> Polyester Machine Thread (#8 color:171).

8.: Overlap the closing flap 15 to 20 mm over the main body and attach it to the body with Double Sided Adhesive Tape.
Then sew the closing flap and the main body together.
