Here's something I finished over the weekend. It was my first attempt at triple loop lacing. Not that hard to do but for some reason I kept messing up the corners. I really like the rest of the wallet except it's maybe a little too thick for my tastes. I'm going to make another and line it with pigskin behind the pockets next time to see if that might make it less bulky. Might also try one with a fabric lining for a little more decoration.

Looks great Bob! Did you lace through the holes on the corners 3 times? I've only been going through 2 times on 3 holes. :dunno: Love the twist on your bud!

Thanks Rohn and benlilly1. Yes, I went through each corner hole three times because that's what the instructions I was following said. I might want to try going through only twice. To me it does look bunched up there.

Really Nice Bob. Love your work!

Bob,

You might try twice through each of the holes beside the corner hole and three times through the corner hole, I've tried it every way possible and that's what i've found works best for me. The cover below was done using the 2/3/2 technique. Looks great, really nice work.

Chief, I do like the look of the corners on that. They don't look oversized at all. I think the wallet corners bulge out compared to the rest of the lacing, so I will definitely give the 2-3-2 technique a try. Thanks for the tip and the compliment!

Beautiful Bob. Like Jan C I've often wondered how to back those. I make my own CC pockets and would like to try that style someday but can't work it out in my befuddled brain. LOL. Cheryl

Bob, dont know if you did or not but another thing that helps is that I enlarge the three corner holes or slilts somewhat to accomodate the extra lace going through.
