Skill Level and Process

This kit is suitable for beginners. You will stitch the pre-punched panels together using the included needles and thread. The instructions guide you through each step, from assembling the wallet interior to attaching the hardware and strap. No prior leatherworking experience is required.

Tools You May Need

All necessary tools are included in the kit. You may want a pair of scissors to trim thread ends, but the kit is otherwise self-contained.

Materials and Dimensions

The leather is genuine cow split leather, with a faux leather lining. The hardware is gold-toned. The wallet is compact and lightweight, designed for easy carrying. The interior features 16 card slots, 3 cash pockets, and 2 slide pockets.

Why Hand-Stitching Lasts Longer

This kit uses the saddle stitch technique, a traditional hand-stitching method. Unlike machine stitching, which uses a single thread that can unravel if broken, saddle stitching uses two needles and two threads that interlock at each stitch. This creates a stronger, more durable seam that is less likely to come apart, even with daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make this without any leatherworking tools?
