0009 Tan Dakota Vertical Card Wallet

« 0008 Burgundy Dakota Long Wallet 0010 Tan Dakota Card Holder »


Making a wallet for myself on this one. Wanted something to hold some cards that wasn’t too bulky. I quite like the tan leather here so went with that one

Lessons

  • Write up pieces and what I learned from making them as soon as I make them
  • Take more photos
  • The radius of the curves in the pattern could have been better. Wonder if I could have outer set it and then modified it accordingly in order to get the right shape. Hard one to say at the moment… I just know I’m not the biggest fan of the tapering look.
  • Using a stitching pony is a lot faster than trying to do the hand saddle stitch technique. Made stitching the whole thing much more enjoyable.
