I am making a russian hatch leather phone case in this video. I am going to use a sewing machine for the stitching, you could do this part by hand sewing, all the other techniques that I show are relevant whether you hand sew or use a machine. I was very pleased with the final result. This is the other video that I mentioned, where I made a phone case hand stitching the leather. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgvdueJ4L0I
