Punch Stitching Holes on Inner Pouch, and Take Out 2 Pieces of Gusset.
Fold the Inner Pouch, and Later Will Sew 2 Gussets on It, But First We Should Punch Stitching Lines on Gussets.
Glue Zipper on Zipper Hole and Sew It, the Zipper Should Be 2cm Longer Than Zipper Hole.

Fold Inner Pouch and Sew Along Bottom Stitching Line.
Now We Fold Gusset and Sew It on Inner Pouch's Edge, Look at the Pictures Carefully.
Draw Stitching Lines Along Surface Leather.
Install 201 Snaps.
Install eyelet and stud together, Concho button and socket together. Here please notice: Please ONLY install eyelet and stud together firstly, we install concho button and socket later, because concho button will get through both surface and lining leather.
​Gluesurface and Lining Together.
You should fold the surface and glue the lining, here is a very important skill "Bending glue", that means a short lining than surface will make the wallet bend naturally, I designed the lining shorter than surface, so you should glue and bend gradually, until the edge of lining and surface align neatly, then you get a nature bending wallet.
Punch Stitching Lines From Surface to Lining.
After "blending glue", when you unfold the wallet, you will see it is not flat. Punch chisel from surface to lining.
Sew Gussets On, and Install Concho and Socket Snap. the Wallet Is Finished.
