HOW TO - Make a Wallet from a Leather Skirt

wallet from leather skirt
A reader wrote in about Katie Jean's tutorial for making a wallet from a thrift store leather skirt on See Katie Sew. It looks like suede to me, but it is still a great idea. Thanks Jessi.

Inside joke

Sorry, it is sort of a joke because commenters tend to point out subtle differences like leather from suede. Personally, I would make the wallet out of denim.

Thanks for posting this! Suede is indeed a type of leather. If the skirt is suede, and you don't want that finish, you can always use the backside of it.
