You know how it is, you get going on a project, you're making progress and you even like the color and the liner. Then you see it, there it is right there staring you in the face. It's a small mistake made at the worse time possible.

You have a choice, you can cry, throw your coffee mug or worse your last ice cold beer. Or you can just call yourself a dummy and laugh it off. I'm laughing now but I sure I'm going to miss that coffee mug.

I feel your pain!  Maybe you can rivet the corners of the card slot!

I thought it was the scratch on the card slots, then I scrolled up...Had to be on the part with your maker's mark...just so everyone knows exactly who dun it!

Riveting would actually work, though.

Simple solution; insert a thin piece of mdf, use chisels to cut stitching holes, use curved needle to sew

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

That doesn't sound like fun, though. I'd just throw another mug.

Probably take 15 mins, maybe 20 mins to sew up

This is the best answer so far guys, well it made me laugh.

I came up with a fixed that worked for me, I'll put it in the discount bin when I go vend at the swap meet. For now, here's wat I came up with and I even like it better this way.

??  I don't understand what you did. Did you rip out all the stitches from that side of the wallet, then resew? Hand stitch it, so you used the same holes as before? 

Alpha, I thought the same thing, and was wondering why a scratch could be such a big deal!  :lol:

SJ, basically that's exactly what I did. I took out the stitching along the bottom and up the sides about a third of the way and replaced the card slot with a full width bill/document slot.

 I did not hand stitch it but I was able to hit the same holes with my machine (Cowboy 3200)
