This will be my first leather project, I’m looking to make a passport wallet for my mom. I am going to use this pattern.http://www.leathercove.com/passport-wallet-pattern/ I planned to use a conventional sewing machine as I have a juki 1541 for parachute rigging. Is this machine suitable for this type of project? I only have ball point needles at this point because I generally only sew webbing with this machine. I planned to use 4 oz leather something like this https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/milled-single-shoulders, is that too light/heavy? If you experts have any suggested tools I should buy please let me know. What size needles and point would be good and what thread should I run? If this works I would like to make a passport wallet for myself and maybe a small bifold wallet.
Im currently trying to mend a broken ankle so I’m stuck at my house anyway. Might as well dabble in some skills I don’t have yet.
Thank you in advance
Grant
