Making a Leather Zipper Wallet by Hand
I love making zipper wallets our of leather, especially by hand. This leather zipper wallet is handmade using natural vegetable tanned leather, with a brass RiRi zipper and Vinymo threads from Japan. It's very easy to hand sew a zipper into leather using basting tape, though make sure to get a thin cut tape so you don't have to cut the roll in half like I did with this roll!
The natural vegetable tanned leather was tanned outside then treated with a bee's wax and neatsfoot cream, then burnished to a shine by hand. The wallet was hand stitched with a saddle stitch, and burnished natural edges were brought to a shine with pure local bee's wax. It's important when you're sewing a zipper into leather to allow enough of a tolerance to sew the zipper tape on the sides of the opening for the zipper in the leather, so make sure not to cut your opening too wide!
