Got a template for a long wallet. I think it turned pretty good. It has a zipper pouch too but I didn't have a zipper. Soooooo. lol. It's 4/5 for the out side and 3/4 for the intereior.

looks good. could have gotten a little closer to the edge with your stitching but overall, looks good. Nice even stitching, even color and edges look pretty good. Using tandy awl thread?

Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Well done!  Very nice.  Generally on a piece that nice or darkly colored, I would tend to line the back piece or at least use a gum trag product and then slick down the flesh side fibers which will darken a bit in the process.

.08 Tiger with a Tandy Pro stitching chisel. I debated trying to slick the back or lining it. It was basically a test run on a template and something never built before. Some people use tan kote to slick back down too I read but not sure how well that works either. Still new to all of it.

Nicely done! The only thing I see wrong is there is no makers mark. You don't want people to know who done this beautiful work?

tan kote will slick it down however, on anything that will be bending, it may crack if you put it on too thick. just wet it down and run a glass slicker over it

Thanks. I haven't got one yet. Been looking online for one. I saw Ian Atkinson from Leodis Leather in Leeds did a review on one for stamping and embossing that looks promising.

Thank you. I guess I'm gonna have to buy fabric now.lol.:helpsmilie:What material works best? I'm assuming a synthetic one glued down to the entire main body panel and stitched.
