You may of seen in a couple of previous posts, i had mentioned that i was keen to get back in to leather work. With one of the first projects i was planning to get on with was making my self a nice slim wallet that would meet my needs better than a store bought one. Well a lot of cursing and sore fingers its done phew!
My post on getting back into leather work can be found > Here
And the first part of making the wallet can be found > HereMy biggest regret is that i didn't do this sooner, sure it's not perfect. But what is in this world. the edges may not be symmetrical and the stitching isn't straight but i made it myself.
That in its self is an achievement for me as, if you know me you see that i'm great at starting things but have a short attention span and tend to move on to other exciting things fairly quick.

I still need to burnish the edges with the tool i made in the last post but i couldn't get in done in time for the working week so ill finish that this week.
It does meet my idea and happily holds the 3 card's i carry on me. These are a tight fit and i had to wet the wallet to get it to stretch and stake them. This way its a perfect fit and no worries about the cards coming on when its in my bag/pocket.

The plan for this was to take money, but i ran into a problem... I got none HaHa 😅
So this is currently housing a credit card style multitool that will no doubt come in handy when i least expect it. It could however be replace with currency if i ever decide to go to the bank and withdraw some.
So whats next to make
2 things
