Wallets are one of the most difficult items to make by hand. Before you put it together you really have to plan out how everything's going to be arranged: whether you want to install snaps, zippers, and/or additional pockets,and in what order you're going to put all this together.

Between me and my sewing machine, nothing gives me an near aneurysm like putting together a wallet. This one in particular was hell in its truest form. I had to go through two machine needles and a bleeding index finger, but I guess the end product made it all worth it. This wallet was made for my personal use. I got smart and made patterns in case anyone out there is interested in buying a wallet of this type. Due to the nature of the production's demands, I'm not going to be selling these on the cheap.

E-mail if interested and we'll talk. Otherwise, the next post will include two completed zipper pouches and more details on the concept of this collection.
