How to mend stiching on a leather wallet?

My leather wallet is falling apart! I was wondering if there was an easy way to repair it and if so, what I need to do to fix it? Any help you can give me, I would greatly appreciate!

Note: I know my catergory isn't is far from being a wallet but you didn't have an area for it! I'm hoping you can still help me!

Thank you,
Maria

if it is around the outer edges you will need to carefully glue all parts back together,allow to dry,then using a sewing machine with a needle suitable for leather/thick cloth ie denim,measure the stitch by bringing the needle down through the hole of original stitch and moving the wheel manually to next hole.if it is different size stitch,alter size until needle enters exactly where you require.do not thread needle until you have finished this stage.if you do not have a sewing machine,it can be done by hand but you will probably need a thimble
