4 Slot Bifold Template & Directions

[pnj]

I used 2/3 ounce for the inside and outside pieces. It's my daily wallet and besides being poorly sewn, I really like the way it functions.

You should be fine with your 2 ounce bison leather.

Thank you very much, it is very generous of you. Some folks have been charging for their paper templates.I'm a beginner, this will be my first wallet.I have some 2oz American Bisons leather that I am going to use. I hope it won't be to thick. Can someone give me some feed back on what to use for the interior pieces. I don't have a splitter and I don't want to buy a big piece of leather. I am not sure what to do.

Merry Christmas

I prefer a 4 - 5 oz exterior, 4 - 5 oz interior piece and then 2 - 3 oz for the card slots.

I just found this thread and it is exactly what I am looking for.  This is my first bifold wallet.

I made my hard patterns and as I almost always do, I made a sample out of some vinyl fabric.  Being about 1.5 oz in thickness, the 1/2" added length to the back piece was quite a bit too long. 

I expected this and realize that thicker leather will require a longer back piece to allow for a good fold.

But, is there any rule of thumb to figure out exactly how much longer to make it?  Or do most people just make it longer and then trim it down after dry fitting the front and back together?

Also, is there an neat tricks to making sure all of the edges line up prior to sewing?  Glue them together maybe?

Thanks

First off...thank you for template!

I just made my first wallet out of 2-2.5 oz Asian Buffalo. It came out beautifully. I cut out all the pieces and then rubbed them with neatsfoot oil. Once assembled, I put three coats of neatsfoot and beeswax on the outside and one on the inside. The thread is .40 from Maine Thread Company.

A couple things to note: 1) yes I overglued. And 2) I do not discriminate on scratches, brands, bug bites, etc.

 

enjoy!
