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
That’s the way to go! I don’t see any pictures … can you post some?
Pictures of the paper ones I left out, or are you not seeing the main picture I posted of the 4 other iterations side-by-side?
It didn’t show any. But now it does. Might have been my connection.
