This is the simple pattern of the wallet, with the measurements, and the holes for the snap button.

Mark the pattern on the leather.

Cut the leather.

Punch the holes for the snap button.

Place the snap button.

Glue the front and the back of the wallet.

(Optional. I do it just because this way it is faster to punch the holes all the way around without the two part of leather moving away from each other).

Punch holes all the way around.

Start sewing: pass with the needle in between the two layers of leather, let a little bit of thread out on a side.

I wax my own thread.

Sew all the way up on a side, than on the other side, than back where you started (see photos).

Do few more stitches more, so that it is not going to be unthread.

Exit again in between the two layers of leather.

Cut away thread left overs.

You are done!
