So this is my 8th month into the craft! This time I decided to use Ian Atkinsons pattern to help me understand gussets inside of a BiFold wallets coin purse.
This is my first time making an item that uses gussets. I did have a pattern to simplify the matter, however I had many lessons during it's construction. The logistics behind every finished edge and stitch boggles me every time!
For example, finishing the gussets edges felt too risky as I had already attatched the coin purse to the body - I was afraid of marking the surrounding leather. I can't figure out a way of doing this without being EXTREMELY careful...
Nevertheless I am pleased with how this project turned out though. :)
Please, take a look! And also critique my Photography if you like too!
Thank you for your time! :)
Hey :)
love the wallet and your sewing is pretty good :)
Have you thougt of burnishing the gusset before sewing the coin purse to the wallet?
