step 1.
I’m super excited to share this “Etched Leather Pocket Wallet” with you guys! I love the clean lines and simple design – and besides that, they are so easy to make! This project consists of two parts: etching the leather using my ScanNCut machine and creating the actual pocket wallet. I have pattern downloads for you at the end of the post as well. Check out the steps below.
Etched Leather Pocket Wallet
Kacia Hosmer
MATERIALS: Brother ScanNCut machine; standard mat; standard and/or deep cut
ScanNCut blade; leather; pocket wallet patterns; sewing machine
and thread; leather sewing machine needle; text or design to scan in
and etch (or you can use the built-in ScanNCut designs)
Decide how you want to etch your leather.
PART 1: ETCHING THE LEATHER
Repeating pattern
Tip 1: Select a built in or scanned design. Rotate, resize and repeat into a pattern.

step 2. Test etch settings for your leather.

Tip 2: Group the smaller sections, and duplicate as space allows. Rotate, resize and arrange until you are happy with your design
Scanned text
Tip 1: Scan drawn image or written text into your ScanNCut machine to create a vector file. Using the “Background Scan” feature, arrange the text by rotating and resizing until desired placement is achieved.
Note: You will find that different leathers respond to the difference in the standard blade vs. the deep cut blade. Test a small section of your leather until the desired effect is achieved. (You want to lightly score the top of the leather, not cutting too deep as to weaken the leather.)

step 2.
step 3.
Cut “Pocket Wallet” pattern of choice.
Top stitch along the angled sides of both pieces. (This step is optional.)
step 1. Download the “Pocket Wallet” patterns and open saved file on your
ScanNCut. Using the “Background Scan” feature, arrange pattern pieces in
place on leather.
PART 2: CONSTRUCTING THE POCKET WALLET
Note: The cutting settings will vary greatly, depending on thickness of leather.
step 4. Measure 3.5" from the square side of the larger
pattern piece.

Arrange second pocket as you wish. Hold in place.
Beginning at the bottom corner and (using 1/8" seam allowance) sew around the
perimeter of the pocket wallet.
step 5. Fold over the angled edge and hold in place.
PART 2: CONSTRUCTING THE POCKET WALLET (CONTINUED)
Note: You can backstitch at each pocket to reinforce.
step 8. Clip your stray threads and leather frays, and your leather pocket wallet is finished.
