Okay, I want to add some card pockets to my Celtic bag. I want to have two rows of them, the way it's done in this wallet: http://www.lzpattern.com/Leather-wallet-patterns/leathercraft-patterns-PDF-CCD-33-long-wallet-pattern

Would this be done using a double T-slot, to reduce the leather thickness? It would be a bit trickier to cut out than a single T, but I imagine once you got your template just right, things would likely go pretty smoothly.

An interesting question.
It could be one long row, with a single stitch down the middle which makes the pocket, like this example:

(the colored line is the middle stitch.)
or it could be this way:

My thinking is the second way, to reduce the leather thickness like you say. 
I am curious to see what the actual experts think about this. 
I'd spend some time with some templates and possibly some scrap leather, making a mock-up.

Heh...from looking at the photo, I thought it would be the second method!

Thanks, Cyberwolfe!

Nice looking wallet! :)
