LEATHER PEN CASES/SLEEVES

[wood-of-1kind]

Along with pen turning, I also now make my own pen cases and sleeves out of leather. Using an assortment of leather (thickness, colour, form) I have come up with the following styles that I am sharing here for the first time. The intent is to have the leather work to complement the sales of pens. Thanks for looking and let me know your thoughts.

Those look wonderful Peter. I have just started to use one for storing a nice pen in my car. In the past I kept 1-2 in the drink/junk cubby, but I would like to avoid the pens getting scratched, etc. It has been very useful, and along with wood, I also like leather products.

Great work, Peter !!!

I also love the wood case which stores some of the pen pouches vertically !

Nice work with good looking stitching and smooth edges, that is sometimes a rarity in today's fast paced world.

Great artistry on the leather pen holders. The styles and colors are great. I had a leather pen case made with a magnet for a clasp on the fold over strap. The leather was molded for the shape of a Jr Statesman You could also consider a logo stamped in the leather for decoration on the plain leather cases. Darrell

Very good looking. I'm betting they sell well.

Mark--that's a great idea, i'll have to do that at least with a felt bag.

Great work Peter.
If you want my thoughts, I would say the sleeve without flap should be quite cheap to be interesting...
Some cases with flap are very attractive, especially the ones with a sewing on the fold over strap, or at least a line. The bare ones, uhhm...

You may consider dyeing the edges, and shaping a bit more the upper piece of leather.

How about a two-pens or three-pens case? (I'm looking for one actually...)

Thanks Pierre for your input as I appreciate your comments in order to add improvement to my work. Yes the flawless sleeves are by far the most affordable as they are the easiest to make. Adding stitching around the perimeter while adding more interest adds labour time and I need to balance this aspects. As for dyeing the edges of the cases that may prove to be quite expensive since the leather assortment is close to different shades of 50 colours. What about dyeing the edges all black? Some of the pen cases can hold up to pens if they are are not too thick. I have made a few cases to hold three pens but they look too bulky to carry around.

Thank you gain for your valuable suggestions.
