Sometimes you just need to laugh it off

Yeah I can see where you would be PO'ed. I like you design though , however, it would be hard to keep cards in a slot opening on its side.

But I would be more concerned on the sloppy stitching. There are ways to fix the missed card holder.

But the stitching says,  that you really don't know much about your sewing machine.

The thread tension needs to be adjusted every time you change threads and thread weight. You didn't, and that's why you have the pulled up thread on the card slots. It looks sloppy and unprofessional.

There's nothing worse than having a machine and not getting the results it's capable of.

If my review  offends you I apologie now. But you need to know these things if you truely intend to sell leather items in the very competitive world of leather goods. Keep going, ' cause there's always room for another maker.

Well look on the bright side... you just found a way to add a variant of an existing pattern to your product offerings, which might appeal to some more people

Albob, I'm guessing that your aim is getting better with your coffee cups ?  Besides, coffee cups are cheaper than  cans / stubbies of iced cold beer  

Its no consolation , but "  yep .....been there, done that " .  I've made the devil blush  a few times    

You have  a  ' bargain bin '  too eh ?  Mine is actually an old basket full of ' mistooks' , shop soiled  stuff , and   and stuff that I've made that is .....well....... crap  But,  people seem to buy it .

Do you sell patterns of your wallet, or may I just eyeball it and fudge something together? I was just talking about your bandana back and how cool it is.

I mark the prices down , with  ' Reduced'  or ' 1/2 Price'    signage etc .  They see something  in the bargain bin and say,

" oooooh....aaaah ...look at the work in that !!"  

My  silent thought bubble pops up with , " yeh ....look at the frustration,  the blood sweat & tears, the little scratches from where it got thrown a few times ... if only that thing could talk  " 

Yep,it sells,  even if just covers the cost of materials or part thereof  ...or at least a  few ice cold beers

Despite the frustration, I still think the end result came together very well... Nice save!
