Month 8 Project!

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!

I wanted to sand them level and smooth but never dedicated myself to do this out of fear of marking the leather.
Notice the unfinished gusset edges

Thank you for your time! :)
