Wallets & Iphone Sleeve

[JoeSnuffie]

You might try braided thread. It will lay much flatter and looks thinner than the typical stranded type of the same thickness. The thread in the picture is from the 25 yard spools of Tandy stuff. I also hammer it down when I'm done to lay it nice and flat. I also used the 6 prong 3mm Pro Line stitching chisel form Tandy (88045-06) and it seems to work just great. After ordering a few spools of the braided thread I'm sold on it and have ordered 5 more colors of some .8mm.

OP that all looks great man! Love the iphone case and wallet both!

iPhone case looks great. Is it molded or is it just the iPhone stuffed inside making it look like that?

I've tried finding better, thinner thread. Depends on how much money you want to spend.

You might try some Irish Linen thread from Royalwood.

For top of the line go for Lin Câblé from Ets Toulemonde Fil Au Chinois.

I've never tried "Tiger Thread" AKA Ritza but I've read good things.

Thanks for all the tips on thread guys!! Y'all have been a big help. I've never considered thread choice before and how different thicknesses would change the appearance etc. I'll start experimenting and lose the crappy stuff I've been using

Oh and the case isn't molded, (intentionally at least..) as I just stuffed the phone in there and left it overnight. It keeps that shape though, there is no phone in the case in that picture.
