Anyway, awhile ago, I decided to make myself a new wallet! I'd been wanting to buy one for awhile because the one I was using was falling apart and kind of embarrassing to take out of my purse. I couldn't find one that I liked A LOT, so I made one instead..... then I had so much fun making the first one... I made a second one because I wanted to try using laminated cotton.
I liked how they both turned out....
Here they are:)
They have buttons for the closure (I'd like to make one with a magnetic snap) and they have 6 card spots (although I fit up to three cards in the pockets). The pocket has a snap to keep receipts and cards from falling out.
The only feature my wallet is really missing is a coin pocket....
So I designed this wallet.....
This is the third draft, and I think I love it now. It was for my sister-in-law as a thank-you-for-letting-me-borrow-your-sewing-machine-forever gift after Sewphie died (read about it here). The photos are also courtesy of her :)
I'm hoping to open up an Etsy account once I'm a married woman, and no longer sewing a wedding dress :) This wallet will be one of the designs I sell.
I've now been using draft 2 of the wallet and even with it's flaws, I love it!
As for the laminated cotton.... I'll have to give it another try... and do a little research on sewing with it. It kept getting stuck with my presser foot on my machine.
Happy crafting:)
