Members SmilinJim Posted October 17, 2007 Members Report Posted October 17, 2007 Hey Kevin, How about a short narrative about doing the insides. Are the edges covered or just sewn? Great wallet in every way. Jim Quote
Contributing Member Regis Posted October 17, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted October 17, 2007 Kevin, Just a great tutorial and finished product. Lots of great pic's. I never thought of using seam tape with the soft lamb. Thank you very much for taking time to produce this and sharing. I'll start one today for my daughter as I think I have everything here.

Ambassador Don101 Posted October 17, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) nice wallet and like the lining, great run through thanks, Don how thick is the leather? Edited October 17, 2007 by Don101 Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted October 17, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted October 17, 2007 Soooo ,That is how you did it I really like the bound edge. Neat & Clean....Keep em comming Quote Luke
Ambassador abn Posted October 17, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted October 17, 2007 That's a fantastic tutorial, Kevin. Thanks for taking the time to put that together and post it. The way you bind your edges is absolutely ingenious. That, combined with your fabric lining and your unique design, really give your wallets a distinctive look. -Alex Quote
steveb Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks Kevin - very instructive. Never having had the opp to take a sewing class I am generally amazed at the tricks to make things like this work - really great of you to share - thanks so much!!! steveb Quote
Gray Posted October 17, 2007 Report Posted October 17, 2007 I'm really liking your work, Kevin...I agree...distinctive. Thanks for putting together that how-to...very helpful. Do you have a preferred source for your leather? I don't know anything about sewing machines, but is a Singer or something similar adequate for sewing the insides? --Phil Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted October 17, 2007 Members Report Posted October 17, 2007 Ahhh... I thought those looked like french rolls you were doing around the edges. Nice touch. Kate Quote
Members gearsmithy Posted October 18, 2007 Members Report Posted October 18, 2007 crappiest piece of leather? I think it looks great, the imperfections give it soo much character. Quote
