Yes, I am in the process of replacing all of my store bought leather items with self-made one. I've replaced my belt, my wallet, my watchband, my neck knife sheath, and gave consideration to making a pair of boots before I came to my senses! It's not that I am against store bought leather. I just enjoy coming up with the patterns, cutting, gluing, poking, stitching, sanding, staining, and sealing - the whole process. It is quiet, slow paced work, and most of it I can do while sitting at the kitchen table.
This was a little side project I came up with to hold my RFID cards for work. Really though, they fit in the wallet I just made, but I had some leftover leather and some time, so it was just doing it to do it. The fit was really snug after stitching, but after wet forming, it's a great fit.
All kind of leather wallets are so beautiful
