Why You’ll Love This Project

  • Premium Materials: We used buffalo leather with a gorgeous pull-up effect, paired with pigskin suede for a soft, protective lining.
  • Compact Design: The case holds two watches securely and rolls up with a simple strap closure.
  • Customizable Style: Choose leather colors and textures that match your personality. We used a two-tone blue combo for a bold, modern look.

Plus, Corbin will show you an advanced sewing technique. Watch closely as he demonstrates a neat trick for achieving an “impossible seam.” What makes it impossible? He makes three separate seams look like one continuous seam. Watch the video to see how he does it.

 Make It a Gift or a Personal Keepsake
