During the spring open innovation period, I looked into working on skill-based projects because many of my recent projects have been heavily conceptually based. Originally I was looking into splitting this time period into three separate projects, but the project that I started working on first ended up taking up most of my time in OI. The project that I ended up working on and completing, was making a leather wallet. During this process, I learned how to reverse engineer a previous wallet design that I liked, turn that into a pattern, as well as learning how to use a sewing machine, as I had never done that before. In the end, I ended up with a product that I am quite happy with, which is a wallet with canvas made of plastic with a leather exterior.
