      Billfolds

      FIG. 102 SHOWS open and closed views of the billfolds described and illustrated. Although these projects have been arranged in the order of their difficulty, the first billfold has proved to be the most popular.

      The tooling designs in the Design section are so flexible that any initial or monogram may be suitably arranged either on the design itself or on that portion of the billfold not decorated.

      Fig. 102. Billfolds

      The second and third billfolds involve sewing by machine and are rather difficult to sew unless one practices with the machine prior to this operation. However, if care is exercised, the craftsman need have no hesitancy about making any of these billfolds.

      The double-fold billfold is a very elaborate one which has a retail cost many times that which the novice need pay for the material.

      SINGLE-FOLD BILLFOLD

      Materials required (Fig. 105):

      Essential tools (Fig. 12):

      cement applier (15), dye brush (18), edge creaser (10), lacing gauge punch (1), mallet (13), paper clips, scissors (2), sheepskin polisher (14), skiving knife (7), sponge, tracer and deerfoot modeler (9), and waxing cloth.

      Order of procedure:

      (1) Draw and cut out the patterns. See Fig. 104 for measurements.

      (2) Place patterns on smooth side of leather and mark around with sharp pencil or awl.

      (3) Remove patterns and cut out leather pieces on outline with sharp scissors, Fig. 25.

      (4) Mark size of cover piece A
