It's taken over a year for me to learn how to do this and that and went through various designs and fabrics but it is finally done.
It's basically some heavy-ish weight cotton for the innards and binding and a random square of tweed from a dozen sent to me and lots of interfacing. 3 attempts on this version alone.
It's a bit wider and thicker than I'd like but it'll do the job...if I can get it into my pockets...

It looks great, really useful, neatly sewn too. It's always tricky with such small pieces.

Well done @Bill just the job and very nicely made. You will have learnt so much making that.

That looks great, Bill. Lots of fiddly bits and thick bits, all well handled.
