Finally, the card-holder! Probably made with a variation on saddle stitch where I sewed first one side, then the other. Sewn with cotton yarn, not very elegant haha. It can hold 4 cards comfortably on each side.
And this is how it compares to the notebook holder I've shown before
I like it a lot. The important thing about this, is that you created something yourself. :) The only reason other peoples works look better is because they have tools and experience.
The first wallet I did just made me want to remake it better. There's so many free resources online, you can literally search online for "leather wallet" "leather bag" "free pdf" etc and you'll find them. There's also hundreds of tutorials for everything.
If you doing this made you feel good, then I say keep going. You'll only get better.
Thank you! and it is SO nice to create with my hands, especially after everything is getting so digitalized.
ooh neat, I'll look around! I do start to form an idea of what kind of wallet + notebook combo I'd like to make. I've previously made a fabric cardholder with a zipper, so it can also have coins!
