check out the Leather Crafters and Saddler's journal magazine. I believe there was a recent article on these slot making projects. I am sure if you call them you can pick up just the single issue though the subscription won't hurt. Nice resource.

Use appropriately thin leather. It usually should not be the same weight as the outer. Depending on the temper, I go as thin as 2.5/3 oz, as with bridle I have split for me at the tannery.

Notch the sides of your pieces and glue or tack stitch their bottoms to the pieces behind them to reduce the appearance of bulk on your side seams. There is a rudimentary pattern for a bifold wallet in the patterns section that describes this design consideration.
