Instructions
Reference: Skold, Thanks for that beautiful instructions and I referenced you so you would get
the credit for the instructions, Not me
(These are the instructions for the cases similar to what i make)
You can also make different designs, such as the southord cases etc.
It is a good idea to know how many picks you won t to fit in the case before you design it.
1. Cut around the rough plan of the base of the case (the main part.)
2 . Cut your pick pocket(s) out and sew it/them to the base.
**The base is light blue, while the pocket is yellow**
3. Sew the pocket dividers to the length you wish to have it.
**like so..**

4. You will need a flap that folds down so that when the case is folded the picks will not fall out
of the top.
**sew along the top 1 cm of the flap "which is in blue"**
5. Now we are ready to sew the edging to neaten the case up.
( for leather this is not needed )
Grab your "seat belt material" and fold it in half over the edges and pin it there. sew along the
inner edges of it.
if you cut this material use a gas torch or a stove to melt the edges so if something catches it
the material won't come apart.

Conclusion
This is very fun and exciting thing to do, it takes practice and you won t make a perfect case
over night (Well not if you are used to using sewing machines. But I would rather make my
case the buy one due to be able to customize what you would like your case to look like.
