   You'll need:

   Outside fabric 23 x 13,5 cm plus seam allowance
   Lining fabric 23 x 13,5 cm plus seam allowance
   Batting 23 x 13,5 cm plus seam allowance
   One piece 24 x 10,5 cm plus seam allowance

   Leather string

   
   
2. 2
   

   Iron the interfacing on the wrong side of the 24 x 10,5 cm strip, leaving room on the top to make a hem.

   Fold the hem over the interfacing and top-stitch it.

   
   
3. 3
   

   Lay down your lining fabric good side facing up and put the strip you just made on it, also good side facing up.

   Decide the exact middle of the strip. Mark a line with pencil 7 mm to the left from the middle. Sew a seam from top of strip to bottom.

   Sew the line and press a pen against the seam you just made. Mark where the second seam should be and make a straight line with pencil. Sew a seam from top of strip to bottom.

   
   
5. 5
   

   Put your pieces of material down in this order:

   1. batting;
   2. lining fabric with the strip on it, good side facing up;
   3. outside fabric, good side facing down.

   Put half of the leather string in between the fabric on the right side of your project.

   Instead of the batting you could also use interfacing. Just iron it on the fabric.

   Cut off excess batting really close the the seams.
