Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good weekend so far.
So I have noticed on others work that they are leaving the bottom area between the pockets unstitched (the work is lined). So I was wondering if any of you do this and have you ever had a problem with delamination? My concern would be that it's on a bend and after a bit of use it would start to part. I dont think I am missing anything obvious 🤔.
I have attached a picture so you can see what I mean. Also as per the forum rules I am not looking for anyone to deconstruct this, I am just looking for people experiences 🤗
Personally I would continue the stitch around the fold, but mainly for aesthetic purposes for a more consistent look.
On the rear side I would expect to see a back stitch at the end of each seam with a gap in the middle. It's personal taste really. But this example is very well finished (and photographed!).
As for longevity, as Mr Dunn mentions, a good application of quality PVA would be fine. Wallets aren't heirloom items really.
