Easy Pocket Wallet

[Ed in Tx]

Here is a super easy pocket wallet that I made for a friends Dad for his 70th birthday. This particular one is made from shark hide and lined with a 2/3 oz. veg-tan. The dimensions of the pocket for cards is 3" wide by 7 1/2" long, the strap part is 1 1/2" wide by 10 1/2" long. The strap is attached on the top of the backside of the pocket before folding the pocket over and sewing it. I tried a couple of different places to attach the strap but decided the top back side was the most sensible from an ease of use stand point. I used a ligne 20 snap to close the strap but you could use Velcro or a larger snap if you wanted.

I experimented with a few different type of leather and found that a more pliable leather worked best. Initially I thought I could use a 4/5 oz. veg-tan tooling leather but it was too rigid and limited the number of cards I could put in the pocket. This was a super easy wallet to make and I have sold several of them in shark, elephant, hippo and even did a couple in gator belly.
