@Lachica I just used the normal needle in my embroidery machine, I'd read somewhere to do that, but use a leather needle and a long stitch if using the sewing machine. The leather was from a facebook group, can't remember which now.
@Tamnymore I'm not particularly talented - this was all done on the embroidery machine following instructions
@Bill The pattern did have a strap actually, but I didn't bother with it as this was really just a test piece. And I have added a little pocket to the inside of my saddle bag for my keys. I've had that fabric for years - but hang on, I think it has something written on the edge...
