Make a Compact Leather Phone or Tablet Stand. Leatherwork Pattern and Tutorial

This is the best phone stand I've ever had - it takes very little space on the desk, it is perfectly balanced, and it can hold a tablet, too - even a huge 12" iPad. And it also looks awesome! It is a "Saturday evening" project for more or less experienced leather crafters, although I know beginners who love a challenge but here you need to have some skiving skills plus stitching can be a bit difficult in tight spaces. However, it is absolutely worth the effort :)
