Hi Im Joe Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Hi Leatherworkers, Here is a wallet to match the tote bag I made recently. Its made with the same two leathers but stitched up with .3 Maine Polycord. Let me know what you guys/gals think! Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billybopp Report post Posted December 17, 2014 Looks like you and Monica are both on a "matching bag and wallet" quest, and both doing very well with it! If you were selling them, they would make for a great bundled package! It would be interesting to see how some trim made from the tan would look outside. Perhaps something like your brocade wallet ... Or a small zippered change pocket on the outside to reverse mirror what's on the bag. Just some thoughts! Good work.

Hi Im Joe Report post Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks Bill! Those are all great ideas. Unfortunately I used up pretty much the rest of the side of vintage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwelna Report post Posted December 17, 2014 I like the design and the execution. The stiching is very nice and the stitch lenght and thread size are a perfect. Wonderful I too would be interested in a PDF of the design Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted December 17, 2014 I'd be interested in the pdf as well - I really like the shape of the scoop on the card pockets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan28 Report post Posted December 17, 2014 One of these days, I'm going to try some Horween. I like being able to dye my leather, because I don't always know what color I want a project till I start it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hi Im Joe Report post Posted December 17, 2014 One of these days, I'm going to try some Horween. I like being able to dye my leather, because I don't always know what color I want a project till I start it. You should definitely try some. Both the essex and the chromexcel are awesome to work with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill46 Report post Posted December 18, 2014 Joe, -------- I really like your (matching set) Stitching is straight and even and thread size seems visually correct to hole size. Also I'm a fan of the inside, horween looks great, and I'm warming up to chromxcel. All contributing factors are about flawless, as usual, Good work ! ---------- Wild Bill46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill46 Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Joe, I keep going back to your interior, and am very pleased to see it over and over again. I don't doubt you, This must have been a really fun project. your progression is on a parralell with Monica's in that it seems to be vaulting by leaps and bounds. Again, really nice application Joe. by the way ; I don't want to leave you out in wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, and a great New Year too ! And to all other leather artists I may not have gotten to. -------------------- Wild Bill46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
