1. DOWNLOAD THE WALLET PATTERN
Download and print the small purse pattern.
Flat and simple design (2 pieces), the pattern is designed for 1.2 mm leather. If the leather is thicker or thinner, the pattern will need to be revised slightly to take the thickness into account.
For this pattern, the leather chosen is 1.2 mm smoothed caramel-colored collar. The sewing thread is black waxed cotton. The stitching spacing is 5 mm. The edges are smoothed with beeswax and a burnisher (multipurpose smoother). Finally, the closure system is via a 12 mm ball snap fastener. 
2. CUT YOUR LEATHER ACCORDING TO THE TEMPLATE
Cut out your piece of leather, using a cutter or utility knife, methodically following the pattern. 
3. Glue the edges and sew
- Glue the 2 pieces of leather on the edges that will be sewn
- Trace the seam line using a former
- Mark the stitching points
- Make a saddle stitch
4. WORKING THE LEATHER SLICES
- Square then sand the edges
- Place gum tragacanth or tokonole on the slices and rub with a cloth.
5. INSTALL THE SNAP BUTTON
Depending on your preferred method, place a snap fastener on the end of the leather. Before doing this, make sure you have a snap fastener.
