Gator print cowhide, finished kidskin inlay/overlay.

Very impressive, I really like the quality of the stitching on all your stuff. Guess it's time for me to practice practice and more practice!

How do you attach the top pocket across the width of the wallet? The equivalent stitch lines for the bottom pocket are hidden in the bottom edge.

I make two wallets and sew them together.

Thank you all for the nice words. It really means alot to me to hear such a positive response from so many talented folks. Someone on here mentioned my "sewing expertise" but i've gotta say i'm no expert at all. I'm just a very slow stitcher. Most of the time the machine is not even on.

Kevin you have outdone yourself again. Just when it looks like you can't get any better, you do! Great work man.

Iam sure the answer to this is practice, how do you get such an amazingingly clean line on the edge fold? No matter how hard I try the fold always looks tatty or I end up slicing the stitches and ruining the edging d'oh. Amazing stuff, lovely use of patterned leather, do you stick in the liner with adhesive. Again probably down to experience but how do you get it so it doesnt soak through and ruin the material....?

So many questions...hmmm , shame my initial is an N, S looks so good.
