That's coming along nicely!
A tip (if you want it): Use a very skinny nail set to punch your sewing holes ahead of stitching. It separates the tissue fibers instead of removing them as in pre-drilling the holes. The fibers close back in and lock down the thread/cord. Don't get too far ahead of yourself or you need to re-open the holes. I just did this for my triple sole Greek boots. A bit of a pain, but the stitching flies!
