Hi Folks,

I just got around to finishing this one. I've never tried this slot pocket (or whatever it is called) style.

Very nice!  What do you do for the edges?  Both of the wallet itself and the thinner edges inside?  Also, what type of leather is that?

Thanks. The edges are bevelled then burnished with tokenole, then edge painted. The inner and outer are both goat.

Thanks. It's a creaser. I have had a few different creasers in the past but finally found this one which I'm really happy with.

Ah: At first I thought it was a creaser but I've noticed what seemed a cutting edge... :)

Lovely work -- so clean and crisp!
Is that the color of the leather or did you dye it? (If you dyed it, what was the brand and color?)

Everything looks really nice and clean.  You do some really nice work!  One question, How do you attach the watch strap buckle now that the strap in sewn together?  Or am I missing something?

 

Thanks

Thank you. The buckle has a mini spring bar to allow it to be fitted. Just like the spring bar at the other end of the strap but a bit smaller.

Hi, its a material I got from my local haberdashery. Its like a really thin synthetic cloth. It folds/creases well to make the pockets. The three pockets are made from one piece of material folded up.

I can't figure out how you attached the middle part. Your edges looks very straight. If they where skived it would look like in my picture.  Maybe you do like i show in my picture!?, but it looks like you have a better solution for this.

If you have the time to explain it would be much appreciated be a beginner :)

 

Picture from the short edge of the wallet.

Hi Danne,

yes your diagram is correct. Each edge of the centre piece is skived realy thin so as not to add any extra thickness to the edges. The top and bottom are rolled and stitched as you can see from the picture. :)
