1. DOWNLOAD THE WALLET PATTERN

Download and print the small purse pattern.

Flat and simple design pattern (2 pieces), the pattern is designed for 1.2 mm leather. If the leather is thicker or thinner, the pattern will need to be revised slightly to take into account the thickness.

For this pattern, the leather chosen is 1.2 mm smoothed caramel-colored collar. The sewing thread is black waxed cotton. The seam spacing is 5 mm. The edges are smoothed with beeswax and a burnisher (multipurpose smoother). Finally, the closing system is via a 12 mm ball snap button.
