How to Design a Bifold Wallet

Everything you need to know to design a bifold wallet

In this video I show the design considerations that go into making a leather bifold wallet. These include leather types and thickness, t-pocket design and construction, layer lengths, customising pockets, stitching options, stitching spacing and thread sizing and additional specialised options. With the information from this video you should be able to design your own bifold.

Can you share more info on the reinforcement / stiffening material options? I’m having a hard time finding the right material to use for reinforcing chrome tanned leathers and exotic leathers. Thank you for your amazing content!

Last time i was this early for a video, i had something better to say for it. Oh well.. still producing those bangerz tho! Keep it up my man.

I seen this today 💖 keep up the good work!! I enjoy watching as much you making it for people like me. I want to learn about using glue for different leather type or suede.. 😻

Geez where was this video a few weeks ago, i was beating myself up over a cash pocket. I ended up using some mission grained pig skin. I've been getting into splitting pueblo and buttero down to say .6mm however i worry for it to stretch later with use. Pueblo is such a great textured leather I want to use it on all my products lol

Hello Teran, I am a big fan of your channel, also a Subcriber and notification bell 🙂 I really like your videos, especially those about how to design patterns with CAD which I downloaded and I am now learning thanks to you. A couple of questions: where are you based from ? Is Teran your name ? and last one - where do you buy the Salamander reinforcement??? I am from UK and is very difficult to get Salamander reinforcement here. Thanks for all your work and keep it on - Your CAD videos are very popular among my friends

Am learnings this art.Pse share the wallets template

[ThoughtFission]

Such a useful video. Thank you! How do you get the leather to the correct thickness? Do you split it yourself or do you have suppliers that will split it. I'm having a tough time finding suppliers that will split it here in France. Wasn't an issue when I was living at home in Canada.

Is it possible to hide the sewing line on the exterior? (making the stitching invisible)

[snowtheme]

So great! I am a new leather hobbyist and I have not yet made a wallet so this is a wonderful video to help me plan and understand the process, along with your how to make video. At 4.51mins you show alternate pocket styles (wave and offset V), any chance these are available as a pdf? Happy leather working from Brisbane.

Victorio Projects has an interesting build video for a card wallet that would make for a good three-part tutorial. I've ordered the thin adhesive-backed non-woven material he uses, but I'm not sure of the exact name, which I'd like to know to be able to look for other sources.

Love your work. What computer program do you use to make the patterns for printing? Thank you for the videos!!

[paranoiaagent]

Hi Teran, great video as always! I want to ask you, where do you buy salamander reinforcement on internet? Thanks

[jstudios]

Hi Teran, do you use lining at the cash pocket (flesh side of the outer layer & mid layer)?

[dravenkill]

what about adding additional flap in the middle? how does it is constructed/attached to the main bifold?
