Don’t Fear the Fabric: Oilcloth Leather continues today here and at MADE! I have a gift idea for you:
Cobalt and GOLD! Hearts in eyes! I love these two leathers together. The gold is super metallic and nice and thin. The cobalt is a thick suede. Both are from Tandy Leather and I love them together.

Leather Cosmetic Case Tutorial
Materials //
For the cosmetic case:
-colored suede
-shiny gold leather
-10″ zipper
-free pattern download
For the brushes:
-e.l.f. Cosmetics 12 Piece Brush Set
Print out your pattern and cut out the pieces from leather. You will have:
-2 Zipper Tab Pieces
-1 Bottom Piece (Gold)
-1 Below Zipper Piece (Smaller Blue)
-1 Top Piece (Larger Blue)
Trim zipper to fit width of pouch. Measure it up against your “below zipper” piece. Trim off the zipper stop at the bottom of the zipper so you don’t accidentally sew through it. Be sure to not unzip your zipper once you have trimmed the zipper stop off!
First place zipper tab piece 1/4″ from the edge of your zipper and clip it on. Stitch 3/8″ from end of leather. Then fold the piece over and clip again. Topstitch 1/8″ from zipper fold.
Fold over and press it down with your hands. Use double stick tape to keep the seam allowance in place if you want to.
Now trim all the threads and make sure your edges line up. Match the gold seam allowances on the edges and clip it together.
Let all the paint dry and coat with a layer of glossy mod podge. This will make them easier to clean.
