Thank you all for the helpful comments. I will definitely put them to good use as I continue practicing with more projects.

Thank you. That's really helpful. I assume that applies the same for when it's folded over like mine, or when two pieces meet. If one piece is, say, 2mm and the other piece is 2mm, then mark the stitch at 4mm, correct?

I've been making some basic card wallets of my own design. Please let me know what you think. I'd be happy to receive any critiques, tips, pointers, etc.

Thank you. That is certainly a helpful supplier for future projects. However, as a beginner, I really don't want to invest that kind of money (upper $300 range it appears) until I've practiced enough to feel confident to use that high quality stuff from Maverick.

Would any of you say that this is a good option for the inside pockets/lining to a wallet? http://www.leather-eshop.com/Calfskins-Natural-Greased-Leather-3rd-Grade.htm. I could ask them to split it to 2 oz, correct?

That would be ideal if I had a splitter haha.

Oh that's a great site. I know it's probably unlikely there are any, but do you know of any cheaper options?

Oh, of course, I was not thinking correctly. I mean 2 oz. I think I was getting it confused with .08 mm, which is a different measurement. But I'm from central Texas area. I'll have to see if I have a bookbinder supplier near me. Thank you!

I'm looking for 0.2 oz veg tanned leather. Tandy Leather does not really have 0.2 oz thickness, at least not any good selections. The best I can find is about 0.4 oz, which is far too thick for the inner pockets of a wallet (what I'm trying to make). Does anyone have any suggestions of where to look?

I used a cheap sponge and applied (what I felt was a light coat) Satin Shene from tandy leather made by Eco Flo.

I'm looking at stamping a logo on my leather work, like wallets. However, I am uncertain of the order by which I should do this. Do I stamp the leather before I dye it, or after? If I stamp it after I dye, do I need to finish it before or after the stamp? It's a c clamp brass stamp. Thank you!

These look amazing. I've been trying to make a wallet like this but can't seem to get the right leather. May I ask what oz size of leather you used to make these?

Good to know. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Awesome, thanks a lot!! That really helps. Any suggestions on the design at all? Too short at the top, etc?

you mean both sides of the edges? I haven't beveled anything yet. I actually don't know what it's suppose to look like to be honest.
