What happened to the samsonite one you brought to take apart for the pattern, that was your original goal, you even had a sell price of $71

The pattern from Corterleather is $5, for unlimited use

I'll give it up because it's too hard to make it.

Thanks Chris..that makes it even worse..for $5.00 he could buy a pattern from Corter,  and be able to use it with no limits , but..he prefers to ask for help to steal the design and not have to pay the 5 bucks.

Unfortunately Corter themselves are also making an item that uses the Louis Vuitton logo

( which is "passing off", and various other offences, and is extremely illegal, if Vuitton find out they will be in major legal trouble )..although Michael222 would probably say that "everyone else is doing it, so it must be OK"..

Btw..

 

 

Makes no sense at all in English.( some of his other comments are not easy to understand either ) if you ( Michael222 ) are using Google translate, it does not work, it makes very bad ( difficult to understand ) English sometimes. It does not do syntax, nor grammar, very well , and often it's translations of words are not accurate at all.

 

 

You come here and accuse others of insulting derogatory pronouns that have no justification. I'm sure you're also stealing ideas from other people, too.
All companies do pretty much the same wallet designs and sometimes just the same.

Apart from you, apparently.

As before I will give you the benefit of the doubt and think something may be being lost in translation (I take it English is not your mother tongue?).

I'm going to spell it out for you: leather-working is a skilled collection of trades. You cannot just pick up some tools and a piece of leather and start making money without some experience, or using the experience of somebody else. That experience is hard-earned and valuable. Sometimes experience is lent out for free -- I'm always pleasantly surprised at the amount of advice, patterns and "how to" guides available for free, from people who have spent a long time working leather. But you have to start at the basics and work up from there. To demand everything given to you on a silver plate is naive, bordering on insulting. You wouldn't go to a collection of tailors and say "I have a sewing machine, how can I get free instructions to make suits, I've never sewn anything before. I want to sell 10x suits per month at $500 per suit."

I'll leave you with a pearl of wisdom my grandad taught me: If it were easy, everyone would do it. If everyone's not doing it, it's not easy. If everyone does it it's not valuable. 
 

I speak reasonable English. I don't come and patronize someone who talk reasonable my language and tells him he doesn't know how to speak. You're talking about leather work as if it's a nuclear physics its just stitching a simple wallet.

Ok, now take some measurements... the size of what you want to cover. Add about 1/8 th an inch on 3 sides. Then add about 1/4 to 2/4 of an inch then 2xs the thickness of the leather. That is the  general measurements you need. 

Sit down with your favorite drink and sketch the general idea of what you want. Fit that into the measurements you came up with. After you get that done come on back and we can go from there. Okay?  

Okay I do that, but like I said, I want to hear more ideas for cellphone wallets with pattern and  guidance How to create it.

They register aboute this pattern -Unlimited license to make and/or sell this design wherever/whenever. Go wild with it.

So it's not a "knock offs"  And  same goes for the rest of patterns.

Right. Michael222 stop with this NOW.    Stop the personal attacks on members here. The members of this forum are trying to help you but you do not want that help.
NO leather worker on here will help anyone copy someone else's designs or products. There is such a thing as 'intellectual copyright'

The members above have tried to direct you to patterns for this type of wallet. I bought an acrylic template for that style of wallet pictured. It cost me all of $10. Go you and do the same.

You need experience in LEATHER WORKING to be able to make anything in leather. Go get that experience then come back. Leather working is far more involved than nuclear science - I have that opinion from a top scientist, so there.

I'm going to ask the moderators to lock this thread

Count me in too kgg & fredk  . The moment you start  having a crack at the very people that are trying to help, you've totally lost the..." inquiry"  .

I gave you the benefit of the doubt because your attitude and approach come across as naive, ungrateful, ignorant and (yes) patronising. I wrote most of that off to issues we all face when communicating online getting our tone and meaning across without the usual communication clues of voice tone and non-verbal cues. The fact that English is clearly not your first language (with clear errors in syntax and word choice) only amplifies this so I allowed further leeway. It appears now that it was a waste of my time giving you the benefit of the doubt. We have plenty of people on this forum for whom English isn't their first or even second language, and they don't ruffle the feathers that you have. It's got nothing to do with whatever language is your mother tongue.

In essence you're seeking/demanding peoples' professional help for free, without apparently doing any homework, and simultaneously considering that their expertise (and that of their profession generally) are valueless. I suspect you may have reached the limit of how much help you'll receive here without a massive attitude adjustment.

If you think nuclear physics is something you can do with a bit of experience and reading a book I'm very glad I'm not your neighbour. And if your online personality is anything like your offline one I'm glad again.

Reminder from the bleachers ... any time a guy doesn't like the topic or general direction of a conversation, he of she always has the option of simply not participating. 

Folks, what point to bashing this guy?  If you don't want to help him do whatever he's doing, then don't help.  Not required.  Whatever.   There are millions of people ignoring this right now, and they're mostly doing fine.
