I've got it all cut out, but I'm still in the decision-making and oh-no-it's-too-thick phase.

Monica,

I see your last pocket (card slot type 2) overlaps the bill section... Mine is doing the same ...on the pattern it looks like they don't overlap and it is stitched in...which creates an extra stitch... when the last one should just be stitched in with the wallet interior to the wallet exterior.

Anyone else run into this problem? Thoughts?

Edit:

Ok so I guess based on the pattern the card slot type 1 are overlaping each other. I'm lining them up to make the edges just 2 layers...

I was thinking the overlapping part might be a bit overwide. I might trim it down so that they overlap only for one stitch or something. I haven't actually gotten further than thinking that about it.

Love the progress people are making. Glad people are willing to show their unfinished work. Made me want to show my progress.

I'm on vacation currently so spending time with the family has cut into the project time I was expecting to have. That said it's coming along. I don't like the coloring difference but it's going to have to work because I didn't bring enough leather to do anything else.

I received my goatskin for my interior yesterday and jumped right in cutting out all the pocket pieces. Come to find out my printer was printing at "fit to page" and not "actual size." Everything was about 20% smaller. I wasted an hour or two but hopefully the pieces can be used for something else.

Today I reprinted the patterns at actual size, glued to posterboard and cut them out. Recut all my pieces, stitched all the pockets, cut out the large interior piece and the exterior piece. About ready to stitch everything up but I'll clean up some edges first.

Damn, stumbled on this thread a bit late for this month. Great idea and I hope to join in for a couple of the projects.
