How to design.
In my new bi-fold wallet build, I am ready to start on my cover. There are a couple of issues I need to address that I am not sure how to resolve. First is the issue of how much longer do I need to make the cover, to make up for the bend. Second is the stitching. How do I lay out my stitching so that my edges all line up together if one piece is longer than the rest? Third issue , I just realized is that I was wanting to line the cover, is that a new stitch line or can I use the same stitch line for the liner as I do the rest of the cover? I’m not sure how to photograph my concerns. There will be a gap in the stitching, between the cover and the inside compartments,I assume in the fold. Do I just continue to run my stitching along my cover until I reach the other section of the the inside compartments?

@GW Brown do I let my stitching go completely around the liner and just not let it go through the center inch or so of fold on inside materials?

@GW Brown starting over with some thinner materials for the t pockets and inner layers. Trying to thin down some bulk!
Found an interesting set of tools.
Saw these on Amazon. Thought I would give them a try. They are a locking straight pin. They go through a hole in a stitch line and help to keep the holes lined up while stitching. I bought two packs of ten. They should help to keep a longer curved stitch line from getting away from me.

On the stich I just made they were not necessary. But I can absolutely see their benefit in irregular or complex curved seams.

I’m sure the bag I want to make will be ready for them for sure.
Recalled watch bands
Tonight I finished my watch bands I remade for the first ones not being right. Very happy I made them right for my friends. I want them to like them. Not to worry they were going to lose their watches. All that is left is to size them when I see them in person.

Leather Scrap Belt
I'm working on a leather scrap belt, I've got the materials, but I'm having a hard time getting started. How do you usually motivate yourselves to get things done?

Starting is the difficult part. Once I cut the piece out I get the itch to finish it. So just start! The TV can wait for later. ( that’s my time killer).

I just started playing with leather craft. I am a heavy mechanic by trade. I made some key chains for some friends for Xmas that spawned my new hobby
