How to Design a Leather Wallet (NARRATED!)
We're trying out something new! In our first narrated video, we're taking you though our process in designing custom one-off leather pieces. Designing your own custom work can be a daunting process if you've never done it before, but once you get the hang of it you're going to get super proficient at designing your own leather patterns quickly and with ease! We like this process because it allows us to offer special, unique leather wallets to our customers at an affordable price. While you're going through this design process, remember that everyone does things a bit different - use this video as a guideline, and work your own techniques into it! This will make your work even more special :)
More videos like this, this is great for people just getting into working with leather.
Yes, please make more videos like this. Very clear and concise. Thank you for taking the time to do this for all of us just getting into this wonderful journey.
Will do! So happy everyone likes it, it was super fun to make!
@@Corter I agree. This was AMAZING. Having a baseline for some measurements is SOOO nice. Thanks!
@@Corter Really doing a great job at teaching us :) You are a valuable resource. Thanks Corter 🤓
@Corter when stacking pockets are all pockets the same measurement top to bottom or do they get taller?
What else should we cover in a narrated video like this (with better camera work of course)? Happy to teach yall everything we know!
Corter Leather I am so glad that you did this. It was very helpful. You’re a natural at it. I really liked hearing your thought process.
I would be super interested in a video on a tri-fold. I get a lot of requests for them and really struggle with the layout and spacing. I make it work but it’s not enjoyable. Thank you again!
I really loved this video, interesting and easy to follow. I would be interested in a video about how you glue your leather layers together. Some information on thicknesses, adhesive, limitations etc. To be honest I think I’d just be interested in anything you decide to post anyway, keep it coming!
I'd like to hear your thoughts and tips on anything stitching related, i.e. your stitching style, pitfalls, multiple layers etc.
I hope this isn’t to far of topic, I would love to know how to design a tool roll.
You did an excellent job on this video, I wouldn’t be to concerned with your shooting equipment it looked fine to me and I’m blind in one eye. The sound could be just a little louder. Thanks for your time and smarts
Love your work and enjoy watching your videos. Your stitching technique is very interesting. I’d like to see a video explaining what stitch you are sewing and exactly how you do it.
Absolutely perfect. I really, really hope we get to see more of this style of video. Really suits you and you are really good at talking and explaining. Thank you !
I totally agree.
Bruno R. B. Silva Wow. Amazing quality profile picture. What camera did you take it with?
LEOY A i D E E 😁😁
Agreed. I'm new to this craft. I really like the camouflage diy job on the one wallet. Was it fairly simple?
Even though I’m getting reasonably competent at designing the wallets I do I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I wish I’d seen something like this when I started. Very informative and explained even better. I really like your videos with no narration but I’d also like to see more like this please. Thank you.
Thanks so much! We'll do some more complicated stuff too in the future, figured we'd start with some basics that aren't often covered :) Let us know if you want any specific topic!
Please. Please keep this style. It works for me. Thank you! Thank you!
Wonderful, both asmr and narrated videos are brilliant
You did great. There is room for both types of video. But for people wanting to learn, this is SUPER SUPER helpful.
Eric: First of all, it is very nice to finally meet you. This was probably the most enjoyable, easy to understand video on designing. Not necessarily leather wallets, but the process of gathering information and converting it to a usable physical item. I completely agree with your design philosophy. Form follows function. Again, my thanks for all the work you put into making all your videos. The camera work is terrific. The shots of the leather deliveries was wonderful (Christmas time?) My favorite was the lighter wrap. I made one. It works. Your sewing in mid-air still makes me wonder why you don't use a pony. I suppose to each his/her own. Stay safe and profitable.
This design video is amazing. This is really helpful. I've been wanting to get into wallets, and this is super helpful. Having you explain what and why you do things is great. Would love to see/hear you talk through the build too
Such an awesome treat to have you narrating thank you 😊
Man, this is absolutely wonderful. It may be your first whack at a narrated video, but it sounds like you've done it a thousand times. I would love to see more videos like this in the future :)
Keep up the incredible work!
As already been said. This is the tutorial I was waiting for all those years. Thanks mate. All the best for your partner and you have a great voice for presentation. 👍👍👍
Great job keep em coming!
This channel will always be my 3AM go to.
Great video. Clear, concise yet not overdone. Very helpful.
😯 Corter speaking!!! 😃👍🏼
Dude! This is one of the best videos in leathercraft.
ABOUT TIME! Your’e actually excellent at simplifying the process. Just what I needed at the right time. I’m about 7 months into this leather crafting world and I love it. Your videos were one of the first I’ve come across and I was a fan ever since. Thanks 🙏
I'm just floored by the amount of detail involved. Everything is deliberate. Now I get it.
I think this is a great video for a basic wallet design, but it would be great to see a bi-fold wallet designed with multiple pockets. A video showing the design of the "T" shaped pockets and how you obtain those dimensions would go a long way to help us with building those kind of wallets. Where I've have stumbled in the past was designing those pockets so that they operated well and not be too small. I have it down now, but I made a lot of mistakes getting those more complicated pockets just right.
I like it! Now I want a video of the wallet you just designed being made!
Maybe we'll do that next week and talk through it!
@@Corter that would be great! Really enjoyed this.
Corter Leather Great idea, please do!!!
Omg thank you so much u explains it helps me out. Don't get me wrong I love the only hearing tools but you explained it where I understand thank you
This video was priceless! I'd love to see more of these behind the scene type videos!
Love it!!!! I've always loved watching your silent videos and have learned a lot from you in the past. This however was even nicer. Being able to HEAR all your steps. And as most others have said, you speak very well and clearly. I'd highly recommend doing more tutorials NARRATED 👍🏻
Thank you, thank you for doing a narration video, this is really needed more, love the silent videos but once in a while having a talk through really put things in perspective - thank you!
Watched this for a 2nd time today 2 years later. Still a great video .. Thanks for posting the videos .
Thank you for this! I watch your videos religiously and try to learn from what I see you do, and I'm so glad you decided to share this knowledge for those of us learning. I hope others appreciate it as well because I'd love to see more videos like this one!
This has to be one of the best design tutorials I have seen. I really enjoyed this. Either way, I do enjoy your videos.
It is nice to see someone that shows you how to break down your project and give you an idea on how it is designed great video thank you for taking the time to show me
Fantastic! I loved listening to how you worked out all of your measurements. This will be a huge help in future creations. Thanks!
this is one the single most important videos i have ever watched as a leather crafter myself (and i have watched MANY - and i include books). thank you, thank you for this my friend
Thank you for the useful tips! This is my favorite leatherworking UA-cam channel. Always interesting content, with or without the commentary.
This is awesome. Just bought a piece of 1.2mm veg tan leather, some basic tools, and I am going to start as a hobby. It seems relaxing, and I will keep my eyes off PC Screens for the rest of the day (10+ hrs @ work is enough). Thank you!
Perfect! Extremely helpful for me even though I have spent my entire 45 yr. Career building things out of metal and wood I was having my troubles formulating and fabricating a simple wallet out of leather. I was beginning to think I was losing my simple mind! I may be thinking too hard...
Very helpful information regarding adding additional length to the outer shell. Thats what I’ve had trouble with, too much “bulk” at the fold. Thanks for the information guys!
Thank you so much for what you're doing. This is the only detailed guide I can see. Your videos have helped me not to be afraid to do what I want. I started making leather products thanks to your videos and I'm happy about it. I wish you well and prosperity! Thank you for being with us!
Love this video. I just got my tools in and am waiting on my leather to get here so i can get started this was amazing to teach me how to come up with a pattern i can practice with. looks simple and it allows for some neat designs on the cover of the wallet.
I loved this presentation. You are an excellent teacher! This is the type of instruction that I need. Please do more... very practical.
I use like methods to work up plans and avoid problems in hobby projects .. and since I'm now dabbling in leather, this helps much. Glad I stumbled on your video - thanks.
Like the narrated video! Answered some questions I had thank you..
Great video! Looking forward to more, thank you for taking the time.
Thank you so much for making this video! For some reason, wallets have been a challenge for me, but I understand so much better now that I've seen this. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your videos. You really help me move forward and become better than I am now. I send you greetings from Russia and thank you again for everything you do. Good luck to you
awesome video, I have learned most of this over the years through trial and error but you did a great job explaining it and I would have killed for a video like this when I was starting. No one does a good job of explaining the design part of leather work. Keep up the good work!
I've been stuck using patterns from others cuz I'm so worried about the fine details. Not only did you answer some of my simple questions (the half inch on the back layer for ext) you explained it in a way that makes me realize I can do it too. Never looking back now. Thanks for the excellent video.
Love this format..thanks Eric
Thanks for sharing your design and thought processes. Love your work. Would like to see more videos like this.
Way beyond just being informative. I no longer have to try and decipher your thought process. Your providing a jump start to the whole process which highlights the obvious, that you are that good and now you know some of what’s going on in my head. But good luck keeping up with me.
A lady who worked with leather have given me a bag full of big pieces of off cut leather and I was dying to make some cool stuff with it...latey my daughter wanted to buy her boyfriend a wallet and we decided to make one for him instead ( didn't do it yet because we had no idea where to start off) but since watching your intuative video I know now exactly where to start off from. Thank u for this kind of video. It helps alot
Yes! This is an amazing instructional video.
This is an exceptional video. Very well presented and easy to follow along. I would love to see a video on stitching. There are thousands of them, but your hand-held style seems very efficient and it would be great to start practicing. I really liked that you brought personality into your videos.
Thank you, it's very helpful. I'm new to leather crafting and your channel very informative. Right now I'm working on my 1st project - a holster for earbuds with a belt clip, and this video explains a lot.
Incredibly helpful walkthrough of design and the principles behind it. This video will help a great many people who are getting into leatherwork and maybe even those who have been doing it for a while.
Absolutely love this guys content.
Such a calm and almost soothing voice explaining an important topic, thank you so much!
I've been working on designing patterns for various types of wallets, card holders, ect. I generally just get on illustrator and start with business card dimensions and go from there. But I really love your workbook pages, super cool technique and waaaay easier to brainstorm multiple designs quickly. Always great to see the thought process of someone who's been a craftsman for years, so thank you for the video!
I am going to be making my own wallet as my first leather project. This video had all the information I was hopping to find, about making a pattern and how it needs to be setup. Thank you, I'm sure this video is going to save me days of of head knocking, and I know it saved me a lot of wasted leather....
Awesome video! These type of videos are hard to find where you get to see behind the scenes and learn the process!! Thank you.
Fantastic!!!! Love it. Hi Eric!
I enjoyed this teaching style very much. I have enjoyed watching your video only work but I end up guessing how you got to the step you are working on. This audio visual style is much preferred for newbies into leather working like myself. Great job. Thank you.
I'm new in this leather crafting hobby, but thanks to your videos, I've learned a lot. This one was really helpful, the keys you give related to the patterns creation it's just great. Thanks so much.
Love the narrated video, you've got a great voice for doing this style of video. Thanks and looking forward to the next one.
Listening to you talk is just as easy as watching you when you aren't. Thank you for making that video
Excellent video! This was sooooo helpful! There are so many things you discussed that I had never thought about in designing a wallet. I feel like my chances of a successful first wallet project are MUCH better now! I've been watching your videos for quite awhile, but this new format takes your videos to a whole other level!
Love this format. Tons of great information. Thank you!
Excellent video. I would never have been able to make a wallet without your teachings. It means a lot to me. Thank you!
Not sure what else to add from the others. BEAUTIFULLY put together video. Your other quieter videos and this narrative... go very well together. Thank you! Very nicely done.
I loved this video, esp as I’m hanging out solo these days. So it was like having company while I make. Or teacher here with me.. I’d love some others for sure.
I can’t print stuff out so when I buy patterns I’m drawing them by hand.
Hearing measurements spoken or written here was the best.
Using a ruler against the computer screen was rather painful. Getting better at guessing sizes etc. 😏
Thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺🌈🌻🌟🦋
GREAT info!! Often the design process seems more difficult than making. Seeing the process, with the multi-possibilities, is one of the BEST videos that you've done...MANY THANKS!!
Awesome video! Thank you for taking the time to share. I love your work and would be very thankful for additional videos of this nature. You didn’t just supply a template and show us how to put it together. This video truly mentors new leather artists how to reason out building a pattern of their own. I also loved your tips on questions to ask when accepting custom orders. Very informative!! The tempo and instruction was clear and easy to follow. Thank you!!!
With all that said please know I have learned from up your other videos as well! I didn’t want that to be lost in my last comment. I have learned quite a bit watching your previous videos and I am thankful for those as well. 😉 lol
You got me into leather working, it's awesome to see tips amd tricks you have but it never hit me that at first we didn't even hear your voice. I found this video and I really do think if she hadn't called in sick that day I wouldn't have gotten into leather working today
Im going to make myself a wallet from italian scrap leather that came from a catalogue. This is so helpful.
just spent an hour adding a ton of stuff to my cart on the weaver leather supply site. stepped away for dinner, and when I came back my cart was empty. Boy I wish they would fix those cookies...
this video was awesome. I've watched it twice now. haha
also, I would love to have the pattern for that card holder wallet. I think its called a "Gym Wallet". - I carry my wallet in my front pocket. I only have a couple cards and my ID. (My wife doesn't let me have any cash) and I hate big bulky wallets. My current wallet is made of this amazingly thin leather. only .4mm thick, with what I think is silk lining between the layers/pockets. - Its getting really tired though, so its time for something new. The thinnest leather I have on hand is 1.2mm and I don't have a splitter. ho hum.
Very good information to figure out the sizing. Thank you so much. Love your work.
This is awesome and super helpful. I love the wallet worksheets. Great idea, and makes so much sense. I have been on a roll watching video after video of this stuff and can't get enough. I think your method for talking through it is super helpful.
HE HATH SPOKEN!! AND IT WAS WONDERFUL!! (More of this please, really enjoyed it. And thanks for teaching us, you are really helping me, and I'm sure many others.)
These are perfect videos to play while I’m making leather stuff.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences so clearly and detailed. It's really generous of you
Thank you for all the info. This will make it a lot easier to plan. Great video, thanks again.
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your decade plus of experience with us. Fascinating video!
I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video. It was really helpful and yes I would like to see you continue with other videos like this. Thanks again.
Great teacher, both creative and logical!
You did great ! Super helpful! Your video is great for quarantine period! :) you have a very soothing voice for narration!
This was awesome! It was fascinating to see your thought process progress thru the design. Yall are stepping up your game Corter! AND you have a great voice for this as well. It’s very soothing and clear. Well done all the way around. 👏😁👍
Extremely helpful and fun to watch. Thank you for the help!
Yes, more with the design and pattern making. Thanks much appreciated. Very helpful.
Very very interesting. Very educational and helpful. Thank you. I hope you keep make more tutorial videos like that. Love your products by the way. I own a couple
Great vid. I watch a lot of leather crafting videos including yours and it was cool to hear you explain your methods. I struggle with those pockets and poor planning my projects. Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming....
Love this!!!! I'm new to this and your videos were the first ones I saw that made me want to get into leather work! this is so helpful because I am trying to start designing my own wallets!!! Thank you so much!!!
Sir, thanks so much. Well splained. Please keep this kind of videos too.
This is indeed very helpful and I really adored this narrating style! Please do more of this walk-throughish video!!
Fantastic video! You have a great narrator voice. Also,I have watched you skive leather. You make it look so easy. A short how too would be great.
This video was awesome!! That print out trick is so smart I can’t believe I never thought of that🤣 can’t wait for the next one!
I'm just starting out and I've been looking for a video like this forever. This helped A TON! Thank you so much for making this one
I've watched all of your videos, and this is my favorite! It gives so much good information. I would love to see another for each style of bag, and even where to source good products from. Thanks for all your hard work :)
Your new way in presenting is so useful. It gives me a better idea on how a design is done.. I would love o see more of this soft of format (with narrated in it)..
Just what I needed to help me with a wallet I will be designing for me. I really like your work, yes I subscribe.
thank you. looking foward to trying. hoping you have another video on the assembly of this wallet.
Awesome video!... Please keep doing this type of video.. super informative.. and narration added a ton more of information....
That’s what I’m talking about! Great learning videos. Awesome job explaining.I really appreciate the time you put into filming this, to teach us . Thank you.
I love this format. I've already made the wallet from your pattern, but it's nice to see how you go about your creative process. Thanks for the great content.
