8 Pocket Bi-Fold Wallet

I made this pattern up but it is a pretty simple pattern if you want to follow along. Thanks for checking this instructable out.

- Leather
- Utility Knife
- Fieblings Brown Edge More
- Tandy Leather's Super Sheen
- White waxed thread (you can used unwaxed as well)
- Needles for the thread
- Pickle Forks or pricking irons
- Barge All Purpose Cement
- Awl (Optional)

Draw the pattern out and cut it out.

Using the scratch awl or needle, trace the paper shapes onto the leather and cut the leather pieces out.

Glue the card slot to the bottom of the square and then stitch the bottom glued part.

Glue another card slot to the original card slot and sew again. (It's basically the same step as before.)

Glue the final small rectangle to the rest of the card slots and burnish the edges with water and an edge slicker. Then trim the sides down.

Stitch the right side of the pocket you already made.

Repeat steps 3-5 but stitch the left side instead of the right.

Glue the card slots to the body of the wallet and then stich across the top. You can use edge kote on this step. I used brown.

Glue the last panel to the left side first. Then glue it to the right side. Make sure to do them in that order so that you have some slack in the center of the wallet so that it can close.

Important: Do not stitch the top! Stitch along the bottom and the sides. Be careful not to stitch in the middle though. Use two different strings. Look at the pictures for more information. (This step is kind of difficult to explain!)

Trim the final little details off and give it that final good look. Then burnish the edges and put edge kote on it.

Put super sheen all over the wallet and then you are finished with the project.
