I honestly don't know how to do that in unbroken panel like that and without any wrinkling and pulling, maybe they glue the cord and wet the leather overnight or something to expand and cover it with leather strip backing or ribbon underneath along the piping wait until dry, and top stitch it. Similar thing in simplest form just a short straight bump going on my harness boots, not even topstitched, so must be glued inbetween 2 leatherDoes anybody have an idea how these pockets are made? Are they just sewn or they have something to give that 3d feel?
I just want to make sure I can tell Shawn exactly how I want the pockets for the project.

I imagine in more complex shape it need top stitching to really secure the shape.
on patch pocket edge, or sandwich construction like piping in between 2 panels is a lot easier.
I have raw hem on my jackets so I can show you here, flatter one they use something like shoe laces, round one they use something like cables, can be leather can be plastic.
