When I made my mom the purse for her birthday seen here I told her I would make her some kind of wallet with the left over fabric. Well, like it took me a month or two to do the purse, naturally I didn't get around to making the wallet until she called to complain that she lost her library card and a credit card because I STILL hadn't done the wallet. Opps! SOOOOO this is what I came up with
I like it in theory but once it was put together I wasn't as happy with it. It is cute but there are things I would do differently the second time around. This wallet is based off of the one I got from my friend for my birthday back in April here. I dont' have a pattern for it but just use the finished one she gave me as a template. The pattern that she has she speaks very highly of and if I remember correctly, if you lay it out the right way you can get 5 or 6 wallets out of one yard of fabric. Awesome.
So Mom, I hope you like your wallet....now if only I could get to the post office to mail it to you! :)
I think it turned out cute!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to make me one for my birthday. Mom was making fun of my wallet the other day, just like you did last time you were here. I like this one but I like the one you have more for me. This one seems to small for the amount of stuff I keep in my wallet. Didn't you make yours?

ReplyDeleteKim the wallet I have is a really easy pattern I got for free on line that I bet you could totally make. OR we can make one to match your diaper bag when I come to Utah.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Sassy Crafter, I will TRY and do a tutorial. It might take a week or two. I STILL have to make the purse for my giveaway I had like 2 weeks ago! haha
I think its too cute! Love the buttons... can't wait to see the purse your making me!
ReplyDeleteCrystal I am working on it I swear. I am having issues with matching fabrics! haha The pattern wants me to use 4 different patterns but I think I am just gonna cut it down to 3 to make matters easier. HOPEFULLY another week or so and I will be done.
ReplyDeleteI really like the looks of this wallet. Fun colors. I hope you Mom likes it.
