Right! 3rd attempt. No sooner had I started assembling the flap pocket when disaster struck.
Linen from an old piece of furniture was yesterday's choice of fabric. I started to press the seam in preparation for topstitching the zip when something weird happened. The linen melted. Aaarrrggghhh! It's friggin polysomethngorother!
So that idea was scrapped.
The remains of an old bedsheet were all that I had in sufficient quantity in a colour I wanted (off white) so that's being used currently. Done the flap pocket and have just topstitched the real fake leather. I knew something would go wrong. It's inevitable.
