PRE-RELEASE

In order to release this pattern in a timely manner to coincide with LUXE HARDWARE members receiving their Accordion Insert pre-orders, this pattern is being released early before all wallets have been finished and photographed for the product gallery. More images are coming soon.

This is a downloadable digital PDF pattern with SVG available. You can select either PDF w/SVG* or PDF only from the dropdown menu. This leather wallet pattern was created to work with an accordion wallet insert.(See materials.) 

ABOUT
The silhouette of this leather wallet includes gentle curves coupled with crisp-folds, accent detailing and finishes with turned-edges, giving this simple wallet a sleek sophisticated, polished look.

This is an abbreviated pattern. As an abbreviated pattern it does not include step-by-step instruction. It does include a "Construction Summary along with detailed visual diagrams and templates for easier and faster completion, while helping you achieve a professional-looking finish. The pattern was designed for using a thin leather, that does not need to be skived.

PDF Pattern with SVG Includes

  • One turned-edge body style
  • 11 Pieces:  3 main pieces, 4 optional accents, and 4 templates
  • A construction summary along with visual placement diagrams
  • Info on combining leather weight(s) with the reinforcement
  • Recommended products
  • An Appendix with step-by-step detail and images on how to install a wing snap (so it is hidden behind the optional accent badge and without stitching showing on the inside lining.)

FINISHED SIZE  is 4.6" wide x 2.9" high x 1.125" deep

LEVEL is intermediate. Requires basic leather-crafting skills including using contact cement and turned edges, and optionally edge-coating the (optional) accents. You will also need to know how to install a Spring Snap. (Or otherwise use the appendix for detail on installing the hidden wing-snap that is hidden behind the optional front flap badge.)

While designed for leather, a solid-intermediate bag maker should find the pattern easy to adapt for use with vinyl or cork.

DISCLAIMERS

DIGITAL DOWNLOADABLE FILE
Once purchased and downloaded no refunds are issued.  This pattern is available as either a PDF only or a PDF with SVG. Select one from the drop down and add to cart. The PDF with SVG files download as a (compressed) ZIP file. You and your device must be capable of downloading and extracting a zip file. (Some older mobile devices don't work with zips.) With the SVG, you must know how to use your cutting machine, its settings and its software. Some machine software is known to change the dimensions of a file upon import. As each SVG includes a 1-inch squaring tile, you can use this to scale the items in your cutting software  if you have issues. Some cutting machines do NOT cut shapes/holes properly if they are smaller than 1/4" especially when using a utility blade and and not a precision blade.  Instructions on how to use a cutting machine and its software are not included in this pattern.
