Cardholder (from a single folded piece, see pics inside)

There are many similar cardholder out there but I drew the pattern for this one myself.
Made from a single piece (kind of a big T shape), veg-tan leather, hand dyed, and saddle stitched with linen thread.
There's a coin compartment, and another one that will easily fit 5-6 cards.
As always, happy to share any details.
For a second I thought I was on the 3d printing sub and was very impressed/confused
I can imagine haha!
Damn, it looks really nice. Love the colors. Did you dye it yourself? What kind of dye is used on leather?
Vegan leather, so presumably soy based ;-)
I use dyes from a company called Fiebings on leather projects, but I’m not OP.
Not vegan. Veg-tan.
I too use fiebings. Also, as actionjbone mentionned, it's vegetable tanned leather indeed, not vegan leather.
Very nice project, I want to get back into the hobby… I always had trouble getting the knot stitch right, dyslexia makes the oddest things a challenge 😌
I use fiebings, they have two type of dye, the regular and the 'pro' one. Regular dye are alcohol based, and the pro one have a mix of oil and alcohol. I mostly use the pro dye, but I've had good results with both.
The one I used here is their royal blue pro dye.
Very nice! I love how the dye isn't perfectly even.
