The wallet is cute and practical, but...
if this is a 'see if you like working with leather' class, then it would be nice to offer substitutes for the 'professional' equipment. I'm not likely to make an investment of several hundred dollars of materials before I know if I like doing it. Tell me what the minimum of tools I need to get started.
