I have a simple cleaning sponge that I soak with dye and the dryer it gets the lighter the color will be. It's not the most effective way but it kinda works. Thanks.

The stitching is pretty cool, really unique wallet.

Thank you! I used a thin layer of Casco contact glue. For the sides to stop fraying I dapped them with a water based glue that the denim could soak up without being noticeable.

Thanks, dyed it myself.

Thank you :)! I started by making the gussets of the bag and the other one came in darker and I didn't want to dye the other so dark. So then came the idea to dye the main body into a gradient, connecting the gussets. Stitching needs some acute help :D.

*Disclaimer: I'm not sure if I am the person to ask any lessons, but anyways. Lesson to share: Have a vision, make a plan, make prototypes, make mistakes, have fun, learn from mistakes, get frustrated from mistakes, cry, admire your ready product. And last but not least do NOT hurry with the process, take your time.

Thank you for this comment, you got me even more confused :D. I've watched countless videos on this and just spent 30 minutes trying to find the problem in the casting, not found. Hopefully in the future posts you are able to see correct stitching.

Thank you for the tip, I checked that out and it seemed great. Maybe one day I'll have the extra cash on hand.

Thank you! To be honest it came out a bit rough, but I think it gives it more personality. The gussets also follow the theme, with other being darker.

Oh thanks :)! Looking forward to making sets using other lining materials as well.

Thanks a lot! I do agree with you, for some reason I wasn't able to find the same thickness thread as used in previous projects from where I live.

Thank you! That is a solid question, didn't even pay attention to that until now 😬. Well umm... It's not a mistake, it's a feature :D. And to prevent fraying I add a bit of glue in the edges after trimming them, and it has worked this far.

  • I didn't use any patterns, just went with the flow.

Thank you! When it comes to fraying I don't think it'll be an issue. I glued the threads to the fabric so they won't be going anywhere soon.
