YOU`LL NEED

• leather iPad sleeve
• 30 inches of stainless steel curb chain
• 5 yards of waked linen cord
• all purpose rotary punch
• an embroidery needle
• wire cutters or bolt cutter
• scissors

STEP 1

Start by setting the rotary punch to the smallest hole setting. Create a hole in the upper right corner, making sure to punch just outside the seam but without cutting into the outer edge of the leather sleeve

STEP 2

Each chain link is approximately 5 millimeters apart, therefore the holes should be spread apart with the same distance. Continue punching holes around the perimeter of the sleeve

STEP 3

Thread the needle with the waxed linen cord and tie a double knot at the end. Pull the thread through the first hole and pass the needle through the same hole again, making the first stitch.

STEP 4

Pull the needle through the bottom of the first chain link and push it through the top of the second hole. Pull tightly.

STEP 5

Continue pulling the thread through bottom of the next chain link and pushing through the top of the subsequent hole.

STEP 6

Stitch the corner link through the same bottom hole twice.

STEP 7

Tie a double knot to finish the entire stitch. Trim the ends of the knots with scissors and cut away any excess chain with a wire or bolt cutter.

STEP 8

Now go back with fingers or a pair of tweezers to pull out any original broken stitches.

STEP 9

Your Stella McCartney inspired iPad sleeve is finished!
