STEPS
TOOLS
Start by choosing a premium vegetable tan leather
Cut a two piece of 29cm x 10cm for the outer layer and 31cm x 10cm for the inner layer, make sure its square around the corner
On the outer layer make a guide line about 5.5cm from the edge by pen
Using a leather groover scrap the both line until it is thin so it can be fold easily
Fold the inner layer and hit it gently with the mallet
The inner layer should be like this
Use a stamping machine if desired to branding the wallet
After using a stamping machine, my brand is bergh&ozil :)
Next step is put a credit card and then draw a guideline again inside the folding
Put a glue between the guideline and the folding point
Hit it again gently with the mallet until it bond perfectly
Draw the guideline again to determine the position of the card
Using a stitching wheel mark the sewing line
It should be like this, mine was about 6mm gap
Using an awl punch a hole for the stitching
Sew the leather together..
Sew both side
Put the inner layer and outer layer together and then by using an awl, punch a hole to sew the both layer together, sew it together using a waxed thread
Remember to sew the bottom side alltogether but not on the upper side (for the money pocket)
