Trying out a new pattern for wallets. Tried to keep it simple, no lining, no binding etc.

From start to finish, about an hours work.

This is garment weight horse hide..smooth, soft, and supple. I used my 3000 Artisan to sew...really overkill, I know, but the other new machines (old Singer, and Alder) aren't up to snuff yet. I still need a few things for them.

Because the hide is so soft, it did scrunch up, and distort a bit, but mostly that was me not being careful. Once the Singer has a servo, things should be better.I'm going to change the pattern a bit on the next one, but for a first idea kind of thing, not bad, I thought,

That looks like an awfully dangerous place to carry those razor scissors.......

Nice neat design. Yeah, I see what you mean about overkill on the stitching, too. My personal preference has always been to have a liner of some sort on the inside of the wallet, but as I said...preference.

I like it.

Nice clean looking design. What size thread and needle did you use in your stitcher?

I'd like to try doing some lighter work with my 3000.

Thanks everyone. I have a lot of calls for a wallet line, and not the carved type or biker type. More finished business like. I still haven't worked up a pattern I like, nor do I have the machine I need yet to make the fine/close edge stitch, but I'll keep trying. I'll show as we go....

Everything looks better when there's more than 1.

Brown - some UPH leather I had

Black -Garment Horsehide

Tan - Deerskin

How do you do the rolled edges on the pockets? Glue or just fold?

Thanx again everyone.

Of course, these are about the simplest thing to make. It's a little tough figuring exactly how big to cut things. There has to be enough on the outside piece to come over the edges, and still fit the credit cards,but you'll figure it out. I prefer a mitered corner, but I haven't got the cut to be consistent yet.

Skipj, those are just cemented. If I had a fine needle and thread machine running, I would sew them.
