Heavy Metal Sewing

After receiving some great new Sew-tites from friend Jaye for Christmas, I decided it was finally time to make myself a Hold-Tite folio, using the pattern designed by Lilyella. It's a fairly simple pattern, and it was very fun choosing the fabrics to use for the various pieces. As you can see, I put a stripe of black/white polka dots across the front just because.

Time to insert the two sheet metal pieces which the pattern is designed around. They fit perfectly and leave plenty of room to sew around them without hitting them with the sewing machine needle (pshew!)

Here's how the inside of the folio looks so far, showing the vertical stitches that makes the folding part. I can't decide whether to use the purple felt or an orange one that I also have. But that's the very last step, I have to get the outer edge binding stitched on first.
