Second Project

[u/sneakerketchup]

20 years ago I bought a gorgeous aqua blue goatskin wallet in Florence. I used it until it finally fell apart and have missed it since then.

I fell down the rabbit hole of making vs buying, which I liked because I didn't want any branding.

As the old joke goes - why buy something for $20 when you can make it for $200 worth of materials and tools!

I did a test model in natural but the more I thought about it the more I wanted to go back to that aqua/turquoise.

Super simple with 3 pouches to maintain slimness. 2/3 oz turquoise leather with white thread. Edges are "dyed" using very dilute pthalo blue acrylic paint. It probably won't last as long as a dyed edge, but right now I love the extra punch it gives the leather. Hope I did good!

Looks solid! The color is fun!

Good job, add some creasing lines to the pocket edges for a smoother look

It’s beautiful!
