Learn the fundamentals of leatherwork by crafting a custom leather bi-fold card wallet

Having a custom Leather Wallet is foundational to inviting more financial wealth into your life.

In this workshop, you will begin with a single square of leather.

Then, you will learn how to measure, cut, bevel, glue, punch, and sew your very own leather crafted wallet.

You’ll also have the option of custom engraving your wallet using our laser cutter.

After this workshop you’ll have the leather craft skills you need to make lots of different leather items! Watch out, world!

You can learn how to care for your leather goods with our guide.

  • What You’ll Be Making: A handcrafted leather bi-fold wallet.
  • What You’ll Be Doing: You will use various hand tools to create your wallet, including an Exacto knife, edge beveler, chisel, sewing needles, sewing awl, and mallet.
  • Skill Level: Beginner — no prior experience is required. This workshop is designed to introduce you to the core concepts of leather craft – measuring, cutting, beveling, gluing, punching, saddle stitching, and edge finishing.

    My adult son and I took this class and loved it. We picked our leather, cut it and hand sewed the wallet. The instructor was patient and kind - I messed up quit a bit. We are taking the skateboard making class next week and will definitely take more classes there. The location is convenient and the shop is very nice inside. I highly recommend this business.
