    How to Make a Minimalist Wallet (FREE PATTERN!)
    Summer is a great time to make yourself a simple small wallet to carry just the essentials! We take you thought making one of our minimalist Summer wallets in a very slim Vegetable Tanned leather with a stiff plastic interior core - this core will allow your minimalist leather wallet to remain nice and thin but have a nice stiff core for extra structure. We hand stitch this leather wallet with a saddle stitch, but you can always machine sew if you'd like! Make sure to grab the free pattern and make your own using this leather crafting tutorial :)
    Happy Crafting!

    For anyone else late to the party, pocket A is roughly a 3 x 4 inch rectangle and you should be able to rough out the rest of the patterns from there. Happy crafting!

    Only when starting to do leather work did I realize what a high level of skill you have attained. You are right, doing manual tasks on cheap leather again and again is the way to build craftsmanship. Thanks for all you do!

    Thank you for being such a huge inspiration for me, you were my motivation to start working with leather. I would love to see you make a phone case that wraps well around the phone (like a wet molding technique). One that is simple and thin and that hugs the phone. Thanks again for being so awesome!

Food for thought!

    I dig the design. Simple. Clean. Relative to a project, I have been sketching out a pencil case. When I was young and in school I had a tan pencil case that was almost like a leather tube with a zipper. As a kid it was the magic pencil bag. In my adult years I look for ways to bring childhood simplicities back...because who wants to be an adult all the time.

    I enjoy watching your videos while crafting. I just made my first minimalist wallet with a marbled dye effect, using shaving cream. I know in most of your videos you don't do much dying, but I would like to see a professional perspective on the marble dying technique. I would love a wallet you've made , so I can use it as incentive to keep improving my own work.

    I am so very new at leather crafting, and I'm so inspired by Corter and Weaver. I would love to see a pattern for a simple glasses case. What's really holding me back is picking the leather - I'm not sure what would be the best/safest leather for glasses. I guess I'm looking for some suggestion as to what would be stiff enough to provide some protection, but have a soft side that wouldn't scratch up my lenses.
    Love you guys!

    Greetings,
    still continue to be amazed, with this idea and concept totally, not only in the principles of construct ,but also in functionality.
    Amazing and awesome , not jusrto watch , but also to listen, as the "draw, cut and stitch " goes along.
    The simple economy of movements is a treat to watch, like observing and doing a "residency" in leather craft.
    Great project to make and gift to golfing buddies,!

    Awesome wallet! This style of wallet is the whole reason I started googling leather working in the first place and ended up subscribing months ago. Trust that this wallet would find a good home with me.
    I have a few video ideas to share.
    It would be cool to see a molded sunglasses case.
    I’d like to see a folding iPad/iPhone case that folds and acts as a stand.
    A long, folding, zippered women’s wallet would make a nice project like the Frye Melissa zip around.
    But a video I’d really like to see would be one that goes into the details like - I see you press your logo into the leather, if I wanted to press my logo where would someone get that tooled? What are the best types of leather? I’d like to hear more about the tools you use- what are good brands, what should I avoid? That kind of thing.
    I’ve enjoyed your channel. Keep up the good content!

    One future aim of mine is to make a hip-bag to carry some leather working essentials to a public show next year.
    It will be a very complex build for me as it would be built to perform a specific task, but also incorporate lots of different geometry and design elements. (Buckles, Zippers, Belt, clasps etc...)
    Possibly too much for a single video, but I'd love to see your take on something like that!

I love your work. I've been doing leather work since I discovered your channel and you make it look so easy I thought hmm I could do that lol. Well it wasn't so easy of course now I got the fundamentals down and make wallets,belts,holsters,zippo cases wet formed etc. I do tooling a lot now. Thanks for all the info. Love the new format where you teach what you're doing.
