Hand-Stitched Wallet Challenge

About This Challenge

Put your precision and patience to the test by crafting a wallet entirely by hand. No machines allowed—just you, your needle, and your creativity.

Hand-Stitched Wallet

Steps

  1. Choose Your Material: Leather, canvas, or heavy felt works well for wallets.
  2. Design the Layout: Plan your card slots, bill pocket, and closures.
  3. Cut Carefully: Use a ruler and rotary cutter for clean, accurate cuts.
  4. Pre-punch Holes: Use an awl or stitching chisel before sewing to make neat seams.
  5. Stitch It by Hand: Use saddle stitch or other sturdy hand-stitching techniques for a durable wallet.
