Hand Stitched Leather Wallet

445d5db0

In this project, you’ll be making your own hand stitched long leather wallet using the templates provided. The wallet is a long women's style with two card slots for credit cards, as well as a space for coins and bills. You'll learn how to work with templates, how to cut leather, how to set hardware, and how to do the saddle stitch. The saddle stitch is the traditional stich used to hand sew leather, and uses two needles, so it's twice as strong.

If you have any questions about the project, where to get materials, or leather in general be sure to let me know in the class discussion section, and I'll be sure to get back to you.

Once you've made your wallet, post a picture to the class project gallery. I'll be sharing a few of my favourite pictures on my Instagram feed: @fitzydesign.
