Frequently asked questions
Can I download these patterns for free?
11 of 13 are free to download right from the pattern page. The other 2 are on the makers’ sites: we don’t host them and link to the maker instead — free or to their shop.
Which pattern should a beginner start with?
Start with the easy ones: Minimalist Card Holder, Talis Card Holder and Simple Clutch 2 Card Holder. Small projects with few pieces are the easiest way to learn even stitching and edge finishing.
Are there video tutorials?
Yes, 12 of 13 come with the maker’s video tutorial, which you can watch right on the pattern page. For example: Levara Zip Wallet, Ruven Bi-Fold and Nevin Bi-fold.
How do I print a pattern at actual size?
Paper sizes: A4 — 12. Print at 100% scale (“Actual size”) with “Fit to page” turned off, and check the test square or a piece dimension with a ruler before cutting.
What leather should I use?
These are usually made from firm veg-tan or combination-tanned leather 0.8–1.4 mm (2–3.5 oz) thick: it holds its shape and takes a clean burnished edge. Makers often give the exact thickness — check the description and notes on the pattern page.
What language are the instructions in?
Instruction languages: English — 9, Russian — 2. Even without the language you can follow the drawings and video tutorial, and titles and descriptions on the site are translated into English, Russian and Spanish.
