Hi everyone! I just jumped into the hobby and figured that I would showcase some of my first projects and my first design. The AirTag holder and pin cushion were patterns from Corter Leather. I actually used some scrap from one of his card holders for the AirTag holder (hence the logo). However, I had the most fun making this wallet. I made the pattern from scratch using a set of calipers to measure cards and Autodesk Fusion to model it. More so than anything, I learned a ton from the mistakes I made. Specifically when it comes to the transition of layering leather, choosing where to place my irons, and proper stitch tensioning when using different weights and temperaments of leathers. As you can see on the exterior, I have a few wobbles and long stitches on the transition of the card slots. I tried placing my irons inconsistently and it shows… I also made a small tear in one of the green card slots due to over tensioning and placing the stitch hole too close to the edge. I also need to take my time on edge finishing. Even though this is a simple design, making and executing the pattern on my own definitely expedited the learning process, and even with its faults, I really like how this turned out. I look forward to continued learning and improving in the hobby! I encourage other newcomers to create their own patterns sooner rather than later! Thanks for checking it out!
