DIY wallet

Decided to make a nice wallet using the lovely leather that I have gathered in my workshop.

This wallet is for a special person and she chosed a style which seem rather difficult at first sight.

Therefore, I got all the sample papers ready to cut out the leather pieces by shape.

Afterwards, I had to concentrate on how I would sew them up by parts.

The sewing part is the most fun because it is hand sewed and you can create designs on them.

Then I put all the parts together and it was completed!

Weekend creativity!

Having some good books for reference is very important.

There are lots of good ideas to give it a try and experience.

Which is exactly, what I have been doing!

 

This is my new workplace which is very big and just enough for all my creativity, either working with fabrics, bookbinding, leather making and ceramic!!

I am very happy to be able to come home and enter my world and create!

"Doing what you love and enjoy is the best thing in life"

As you can see this is under working process...I have all the leather pieces cut in the correct measures. Now I need to make the holes and then stitch them using the purple thread.

I think this pink pigskin wallet will look nice with the chosen thread. Giving it a girlish and fun match.

This is a small cute real leather bag that I handstitched for my niece!

She loved it!

Finally, I just had to make something with my sewing machine....so I made this purple summer bag for myself for the lovely hot humid summer here!

Have a great summer!

Hope you like them!  :0)
