If you mean the carving pattern, it is Craftaid #6598. If you mean the
cutting pattern for the interior, I made it myself.

It actually folds very nicely, but is just too thick. The sliding
mechanism of the interior works well, too. I think even with the
thinner leather, I will continue to use heavier leather for that piece.
I think you're right about the lacing though. Where the liner meets
the back there are 5 thicknesses of leather and I had to use triple loop
for that part to cover the edge completely.
