0008 Burgundy Dakota Long Wallet

« 0007 - Chestnut Dakota Valet Case 0009 Tan Dakota Vertical Card Wallet »


This was a present for my mother for her birthday. She wanted something to hold all of the little cards that you tend to accumulate over time. The brief was something slim, that looked good and could hold a lot of cards. No need to hold cash but I did put in some cash holders anyway which she can use if she wants.

Lessons

  • I need a better way of setting the snaps in place, hammering them in isn’t that ideal and I’m not quite getting the results I want
  • Sharper knife would be better…
  • I made this in July, should write it up straight away
