very good considering you to be an amateur in leather works .
can you describe the process that you used to mould the leather.
ps : the final look would depend upon what kind of stitches you employ.

Looks neat. A step by step procedure would benefit amateurs out here ( me inluded ) :D.

BTW - What type/quality of leather have you used.

Best.
