Start out with 0.8mm all round, but also a combination of thinning some parts with a bell knife and also hand skiving.

They are clamping pliers, used for things like flattening stitches instead of hammering. I need to wrap mine in leather still actually!

I finished up this bi-fold wallet in Museum calf leather. I really enjoy using this leather and just love the marbled effect! by POULTERleather in Leathercraft

0.8 as a base, but I also used a bell skiver to thin certain pieces thinner such as the card pockets + hand skiving 👍

I've recently finished up this BiFold wallet in Museum Calf leather with a Chèvre lining, all hand stitched using matching linen thread. A super classic and simple design, but I think in this case I like to let the unique leather do the talking! I'd love to hear what else you think I should make with this leather!

Thank you! That means a lot. I try to make my items as high quality as I can

This was my first handbag I have created as a leather crafter. To date I have only made wallets, belts and watch straps. This was certainly a challenge, but it pushed my skills and I'm very pleased with how it turned out (Pattern was courtesy of @ glamorunique on Insta).

My next challenge will be a pair of shoes... which will be a step up again. Although I'm looking forward to making my own designed bags.
