My Favourite Leather Bifold Wallet Template - For FREE

I love this bifold wallet. For real. And I'm normally into slimmer, card holder type leather wallets, but this one holds a special place in my heart.
This was the first pattern I ever created (slightly modified since) and probably the leather product I've made and sold the most of.
My first Christmas when I started selling, I had to make around 20 of these. Needless to say, my leather working skills were developed largely while making this exact bifold.
Even after making 20 of these in a couple months, I still love making it. In fact while shooting this video, I remembered how much I like these things and made a couple extra for Christmas present.
Of course this template is absolutely free and you can download it in PDF or STL for 3D printing.
I hope you enjoy it!

My name is Tim. Thanks for checking out my KZbin channel. I started leather working in July of 2020. My passion for leather work quickly grew as I learned and practiced. I received a ton of help from the leather working community when I was new and now I aim to pass on what I learn to other beginner leather workers. I post weekly leather craft videos that include tutorials, free pdf pattern templates, how to's, tips and tricks, and any other leather work content that I think could help you out!

[@raybhamilton]

The 2" rectangle still measures 1 7/8 "

[@yawattahnivag6947]

Good stuff. 👍🏻

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thank you!

[@earthdimensionc-1378]

I like adding a stitch groove line especially on the t pockets to sink the thread in more and decrease bulk

[@adamrobertson2048]

I've yet to try the stitch groover. Speakeasy leather does that with the hole punch style. One day I'll give it a shot

[@hansvantonder875]

Very interesting video and website too!

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoods Happy Days!

[@jnhhhhhhhh]

Nice one. I use a diamond chisels and don't have the reverse one - I just flip the piece of leather instead! I really like your no bullshit approach to videos, straight to the point. No essays on how awesome bump jigs are (wink wink).

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Haha! Thank you! I do love a bump jig though! I 3D printed some for myself. Generally I just eyeball stuff though.

[@jnhhhhhhhh]

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoods one thing I feel unsure about is how to decide on the combination of chisel size, thread size and needle size. Would be amazing if you could make a video on this

[@adamrobertson2048]

​​@@jnhhhhhhhh if you order John James needles just buy the one according to the size of thread. I personally like 5mm spacing diamond chisels with .8 or .6mm tiger thread or .035 Maine thread. Hmu I can shoot you some pics of my stitches

[@panospalivos6381]

Nice looking wallet & great tutorial. Thanks! What leather are you using here? Love that brown/tan!

[@shepherddog1199]

What size french skiver do you use? Will a 1/4 inch skiver do?

[@grahamtpeterson]

Does the top edge of the full card pocket sit directly behind the bottom edge of the t-pocket (ie: flush with the brown backing leather) or is it laying on part of the t-pocket?

[@juanitaalvarado9831]

Question. Where did you get your makers mark from? I’m currently on the look out for a good place to order from and having a hard time. Just wondering if you would share your thoughts on this.

[@sandrasosa1986]

Thanks I am New Leather maker😊

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArtemGenndievich]

Спасибо мужик🤝 Хороший кошелек 👍 💪💪💪

[@adamrobertson2048]

Where can i get that squeezer bottle?

[@lindaaustin-morin7781]

Thanks. Great content. Will you tell us where you got your makers mark die from?

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

I actually got it from a guy on Instagram who no longer makes them. There are a bunch of good places to get them though. Leather Stamp Maker probably being the most popular.

[@railwaymaniac]

Thanks Tim - Good looking pattern. What weight of leather do you use, please?

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thank you! It's a combination of 5oz and 3oz.

[@stevepatrick3432]

what weight leather are you using in this tutorial?

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

This was a combination. The brown stuff is 5oz. The darker one is around 3oz. I've made this wallet with a wide variety of weights though. It's pretty versatile.

[@redhead3rocks]

I see your using 5 oz and 3 oz leather. Is that bridal leather ? Wickett Siedel or whom.?

[@leather_brother_52]

Hi! Is round mallet better than straight mallet?

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

I think it comes down to preference but I like it better.

[@paulocosta4320]

How mm is the leather m8

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Hmmm I'm not sure. It's a combination of 5oz and 3oz leathers. 2mm and 1.5mm maybe?

[@paulocosta4320]
