How it is made - Strap wallet
This type of closure is great when you don't want to use any hardware or you simply don't have any in stock. After all it works perfectly and it is practical to use. This wallet might take more time to make than most other simple wallets I have uploaded the patterns for but isn't much harder to craft. There is a bit more hand stitching involved and you will need a zipper, preferably with 3mm teeth rather than 5mm. I did not have any bottom nor top metal stoppers for the zipper so I had to replace them by leather bits,...
The making of an indispensable...
The bi-fold wallet is probably the most common type wallet for men, I bet pretty every men already owned at least one (if not dozens) like this one in their life. It fits in the back pocket of a trouser (this one is only 75mm high) and can carry everything you need without having to bring with you a bag.

I intentionally choose natural veg tanned leather with nothing on top, no paint, no PU coating or God...
Which tools do I need for leather work?
In this video I am showing which tools are good to purchase to get started, there are not so many, but this is more or less the only tools I am using on a daily basis, I should add a stitching clamp and some saddler needles, but really, if you've got this kind of tool kit you can't really find the excuse of not having enough tools to work properly. Too many people love to collect an absurd number of tools but it seems like the more they store in their cupboards the less they really produce any leather goods. The same occurs with any...
Making iPhone 6 or 7 cases
For this project I have used a 1.2mm natural baby calf veg tanned leather, the case doesn't not require any skiving and only three stitching lines are needed to assemble all the parts together the skills and techniques required are very similar to the ones needed to make the iPad case.
