Chux Report post Posted August 20, 2022 I finished this up today and for once I think itd not too half bad. I've tried a couple of wallets in the past and *phew* they never came out very good. I came across a short YouTube video of somebody making a similar wallet so I decided to try this kind. I can never make a decent bifold to save my life. I made my own pattern, this is the second version, the first one i made the card slots were WAY too wide so i readjusted and this is what i came up with. Thoughts? Comments?

YinTx Report post Posted August 20, 2022 Looks like it came out decent. I'd probably try to skive that roll on the pockets a bit more, but that's pretty picky imo. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Thanks, I agree, I just really really suck at skiving and probably ruined enough leather to make three or four more of these just getting those 12 completed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted September 16, 2022 I'm not as good as I would like to be at wallets . . . so I bought one almost exactly like that. But yours is seriously better looking. Good job. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yours is seriously better looking. Good job. May God bless, Dwight Thank you so much!! I am absolutely terrible at wallets,lol, so needless to say I don't make them. That being said, telling someone I don't make wallets because I suck at it, when they ask for wallets doesn't bode well when trying to keep a roof over my head doing leather work....so I'm trying to make some that I'm not completely embarrassed by. Thank you again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJole Report post Posted September 16, 2022 Hey, practice makes scrap projects...and eventually perfect! ;-) That's a really nice job -- it must have been a big relief to get it right with that fancy black leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, I have way more "scrap projects" than I'm willing to admit to having. I'm not worried about "perfect" per se, I just don't want to put inferior projects out into the world lol. Wanna know a secret?? That is just some embossed leather that I picked up on the cheap and dyed it black so it looked fancy Edited September 16, 2022 by Chux Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxx1024 Report post Posted September 23, 2022 Very nice indeed, Chux. I would Love to know how to make a good bifold but due to internet connection speed and unavailability at work to view YOUTUBE, I just rely on designs and descriptions to make my stuff. If you have any good design pictures or websites with designs feel free to share with me. I’d be proud to make something like you did and show it off.

I really wish I was able to help you out with a better answer than I pretty much just wing it as I go along. Probably not the answer you were looking for but that's pretty much how I've done everything I've posted here. I usually see pictures on the web myself, or get an idea in my head and even if I try making patterns it usually turns into what I've come to call "snip and stich"...
