Master-class on making a leather wallet with your own hands -

For work we need:

Getting Started

  1. We print out the pattern of our leather wallet. We will sew a classic men's wallet with six pockets for credit cards. Its dimensions are chosen in such a way that paper money of any country and any denomination could fit in the purse. Details of the pattern can be either drawn by yourself according to the given dimensions, and downloaded and printed on a conventional printer.
  2. We cut out the patterns of parts from dense cardboard.
  3. We transfer the pattern to the skin, making sure that the parts are the same size and are not displaced during the cutting.
  4. We cut the skin with a roller knife. Do this by holding a knife under the ruler. This will help to get smooth and accurate cuts.
  5. On the details, we punched holes for future joints with an awl. The diameter of the holes should be such that the needles pass freely in them.
  6. We put all the details of our wallet together, so that the holes for the seams match.
  7. We begin to sew the details of the wallet with a special seam, working with two needles at the same time. Stapling should begin with the lines marked in blue in the diagram.
  8. Pull one needle through the hole in part B and pull until the lengths of the threads on both sides are equal. Then we begin to connect the details B and D, paying attention to the fact that the threads were tight enough. Having finished the connection of the parts, fix and cut the working thread.
  9. In the same way, we perform the remaining seams, and then gently fix the ends of the working thread and cut it.
  10. In the end, we get here such a neat purse that fits easily in any pocket!
