My wallet wore out about a year ago. I liked the general shape, but was looking for a fun project, so instead of buying a new one I made a similar one, first out of paper, then scrap canvas, then scrap leather, then a final version from Walpier Buttero with edge paint and hand stitching in an accent color. I designed it in Inkscape, and laser-cut the pieces, including the holes for stitching, which allowed me to get very precise stitches. Not pictured - several paper/staples iterations on the pockets tweaking the pattern to my liking
Looks great. Love the blue thread. Is it Ritza?
Yep, Ritza 25 Tiger thread 0.6 Aqua
Finally got that colour Ritza! RM is the only one I could find to get it. $20 to Canada but I ordered a bunch more to make up for that lol. Got some new tools and more thread colours. 💪
Nice! I hope that it works out well for you! Mine is still holding up beautifully
