The card wallet was made in a few months ago and the watch strap was finished yesterday. It was easy at first, measuring, drawing pattern, cutting leather, but at the end of it, it was challenging for me. Perhaps, the strap width was too narrow and material wasn't the right choice.... At some point, I didn't want to finish it.... but I did.... The top stitch looks fine, but rear side of stitch isn't as neat :( I used a pig skin liner which worked out ok, but it wasn't satisfactory to me...
In all, it was a good experience! I would love to use real alligator skin on projects upcoming!
Thanks,
Young

@ymalnack Fantastic work Yom! I think you're the first to try the gilded edges on the box. Great to see.
They look great.
I am so glad you added more pictures because they really showcase your beautiful work! I happen to love red color leather and red elements in a wallet or purse. Well done!
Hey Veronica,
As per your request, I am adding more photos of wallets. I made a few different version before but never thought to post on the forum.
For black one, I used a pig lining and broadcloth(cotton + polyester mix) for slots. For red one, made this with Christmas spirit 😊😅~ with broadcloth all around. This one was fun, but I know this could be somewhat tacky to different audience. 😛 Anyway, I had a fun with it! Could you tell if I like RED? 😄
Thank you.
Cheers!
Looks very nice! Would love to see the inside of the wallet.
