in wanting to use 3/8 strips and weave in a 4.5x13/16 piece i cant figure out how to get started on the slits to weave through.. thank youou

It is fairly easy. But you cut 3/8" strips of leather. 

Then start from the inside of your project with a long 3/8 strip of leather & go thru a slot, then up & over to next slot. 

Then just keep repeating that order.

Maybe a couple pics will help.

I think that the slots shown in your photo may have an extra column.

More generally: each diagonal needs to have an even number of slots. Strip starts from below surface and finishes below surface. If not a diagonal weave each row or column needs to have an even number of slots.

I am learning how to do this for purses where I am adding the weave to a panel.
