Made a wallet from a Black Flag Leather Goods pattern. The second wallet I’ve made from a pattern, and… there’s lots to improve on. My stitching ended up way too close to the edge. :/

It honestly doesn’t look bad. Do you know why it ended up that close?

@Shamus well, I wasn’t sure how far in they should be, so just kind of made an arbitrary decision. Which looked good before punching, but failed to account for the size of my punches, so the holes ended up getting really close to the edge.
But thanks! I think it looks ok, but am concerned for longevity.

It happens! Looking at the inside of the wallet, the margins look a little bigger; if I had to hazard a guess your pricking irons might have been angled out a hair, causing the holes to be too close to the outside edge. Did you punch from the interior of the wallet with the exterior against the table?

@bevel.leathercraft aaah this is a great note. I don’t recall which direction I punched from for this, but kept this in mind on another wallet I just finished. It seems to have helped, so good call! Thank you!
