Faux or real leather
Get the free pattern (link in description)
Use fabric glue, hot glue or leather glue
Double-sided tape works well to hold pieces.
Glue the ric-rac or lace around the center piece
Let it dry
Stitch around the edge
To prevent skipped stitches in leather you will need leather needles, a Teflon or walking foot and good quality thread.
Test stitch a scrap before you start.
Glue the zipper in the center
Double sided fabric tape also works well to hold pieces
Stitch either side
Move the zipper as you sew
Fold in half right sides together and hold the edges (don't pin)
Stitch around the edge with a 1/4 inch (6mm) seam.
Careful of any metal ends
Don't forget to backstitch
Clip the corners
Turn
Use a ring to add a tassel
