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

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

Well done!  I'd carry that with pride!

Thank you!

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.

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

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.

Thanks Jaxx! 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"...

Thank you Chux. I will be searching for patterns.
