Front pocket/card wallet

I received a commission last week for a card wallet.  The fellow that ordered them wanted to wallet to be as thin as possible and to hold 3 cards per side.  After some paper modeling, a few emails and some quick/rough construction this is what I came up with.

 Once the dimensions of the pattern were worked out I cut out several wallets worth of leather in a few colors.  The pieces were then glued along the edges, that were later to be sewn, clamped and left over-night.

I then hand stitched the edges.  After sewing I trimmed, sanded and slicked all of the edges.  I only use waxed saddle thread as it's very durable.

Above lies a grip of wallets awaiting edge slicking.
